Making New Generation of Electrochemical Sensors
Welcome to Dr. Pumidech (Max) Puthongkham's research group (MaxLab). Our research program seeks to devise better electrochemical sensors for food and environmental analysis and medical diagnosis through the investigation of electrochemistry at laser-induced graphene and carbon electrodes, development of advanced electrode materials, and applications of machine learning and experimental design.
Feb 2026: The work on carbofuran electrochemical sensor from laser-fabricated carbon quantum dot/laser-induced graphene electrode by Pop, a PhD candidate, has just been published in Sensors and Actuators B.
Dec 2025: Max received the University-Wide Teaching Award for Young Faculty Members.
Nov 2025: Our paper on Hepatitis B Electrochemical Sensor based on Laser-Induced Graphene has been just published in Bioelectrochemistry. Congratulations to Fon, my recent graduate who had worked on this.
Oct 2025: We have received a confirmation of the Fundamental Fund 2025-26 (THB1,000,000) on electrochemical sensor for food contaminants.
Sep 2025: Welcome Lara Hoffman from Germany as a visiting internship student.
Aug 2025: We welcome Marissa as a BSAC Applied Chemistry Project student, and Best continued his PhD program with our group.
July 2025: Max received the University-Wide Outstanding Young Investigator Award in Sciences and Technology, Chulalongkorn University.
May 2025: Best earned the outstanding presentation award for the Department Senior Project exhibition this year. He also participated in the Hitachi Trophy Senior Project Competition, organized by the Faculty of Science.
