Collaboration in Princeton
In Summer 2024, I had the great privilege of visiting the renowned Dr. Z↗️in the United States, where I collaborated with both Dr. Z and Aek↗️ on a project inspired by the groundbreaking ideas of John von Neumann — the Father of Game Theory. His visionary work, dating back over a century, continues to shape our understanding of strategic decision-making today.
Dr. Z kindly hosted us during our visit and took us to von Neumann's former residence in Princeton, where we captured a memorable photo to mark the occasion. The outcome of this collaboration is now published and available here:
Ballet and I
Dance was a part of my daily life from the age of four until my time as a graduate student at Cornell University, where I made the switch to modern dance. I continued practicing modern dance during my postdoc years in Switzerland as well.
In 2001, I had the opportunity to participate in the prestigious Prix de Lausanne↗️ ballet competition. While I didn’t win any awards, the experience was incredibly valuable. During my undergraduate years, I performed several leading roles with Bangkok City Ballet, including Paquita, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Aurora, and Don Quixote, among others.
Though I no longer dance after returning to Thailand, my love for ballet remains strong, and I continue to enjoy watching performances.
Piano and I
Thanks to my mom, I started learning the piano at the age of five. I paused formal classical lessons during high school to focus on my studies, but later, I began playing by ear instead. I’d play whenever I came across a pop song I liked. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the piano became a source of comfort. I played a few songs while my niece sang along, and it turned into one of our favorite stay-at-home activities—bringing some much-needed joy during a difficult time.
