Biography

Thanaphun Jitniyom, a Ph.D student in Mechanical Engineering at university of Birmingham. The research area is Droplet-based wetting phenomena for biomedical engineering devices. Thanaphun’s undergraduate and master's in Automotive Engineering.

In 2021 Thanaphun joined PGTA (Post graduate Teaching Assistant), teaching in Mechanics, Fluids Mechanics and energy transfer including Design Engineering. In 2023, Thanaphun joined a Teaching Fellow position in the school of Engineering at the University of Birmingham.

Thanaphun's research interests are nano-micro scale materials in biomedical engineering devices. For example, laser fabrication, chemical and high-performance 3D printing in nano-micro scale, bioengineering, design, and additive manufacture to name a few. The biomedical applications are antibiofouling, self-cleaning and self-killing bacteria.
