About Me

I am the Director of the Social Innovation Lab and a faculty member at the Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation (CSII), where I focus on sustainability, social innovation, and education for sustainable development. My work centers on creating impactful learning experiences that empower individuals and communities to address global challenges, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

I serve as a Reviewer and Editorial Board Member for leading publishers and academic journals, including MIT Press and the International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction (Scopus Q1). I also regularly chair multiple international conferences. Furthermore, I serve as an expert and consultant for UN agencies such as UNESCO and the United Nations University.

I lived in Tokyo for 2 years. I was a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellow at the United Nations University – Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS). During this time, I spearheaded multiple international research projects on the SDGs, fostering capacity-building initiatives across Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. I also serve as a visiting scholar and adjunct lecturer at the School of Environment and Society, Tokyo Institute of Technology (now Institute of Science Tokyo), where I explore innovative approaches to sustainability.

I was a Fulbright scholar and graduated with a Doctor of Education (EdD) degree from Teachers College, Columbia University.
