Ph.D. Student

        I am an agricultural scientist from Department of Agriculture, Thailand. I obtained an M.Sc. in plant pathology from Chiang Mai University, Thailand. At present I am on study leave to do my Ph.D. at FABI, University of Pretoria, in collaboration with The Mushroom Research Foundation, Thailand (www.fungaldiversity.org).

My project focuses on the ophiostomatoid fungi associated with pine-infesting beetles in Thailand. The aim of the research is to isolate and identify fungal associates of bark and ambrosia beetles infesting pine species native to Thailand. New species will be described based on morphological features and DNA sequences of various gene regions. Where needed, unresolved taxonomic issues in species groups of the Ophiostomatales that are related to the Thailand isolates, will also be addressed.
