Incoming Assistant Professor in SPMS
I am a theorist working at the intersection of physics and computer science. My current research explores how learning and information processing arise in physical systems, and how their native dynamics make computation possible.
Prior to joining NTU, I fulfilled my Thai Scholarship Bond as a faculty member and led Chula Intelligent and Complex Systems Center at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. During that time, I focused on mentoring highly talented undergraduates, most of whom have gone on to competitive graduate programs abroad. I also collaborated closely with industry partners to solve problems in network science and optimization, and co-founded the Quantum Technology Foundation (Thailand), where I currently serve as a scientific advisor.
