Back in Rutgers/Princeton again
First day of June 2026.
A wonderful evening at a Thai restaurant in Princeton with Dr. Z and Jane. Even at 8 PM, the sky was still bright. Returning after two years brought back many wonderful memories. It was a pleasure to enjoy their warm hospitality, engaging conversation, and the opportunity to spend time again with one of the leading mathematicians of our time.
P.S. Very happy to see Paul again as well.
Collaboration in Linz
During the summer of 2025, I visited RICAM ↗️ in Linz, Austria, and had the opportunity to collaborate with Christoph↗️ and Aek↗️ on several research projects.
One of our recent works on dice rolls and prime numbers has recently appeared on arXiv. Sequences from the paper are now listed in the OEIS.

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 at Cornell Thai Festival
When I was a PhD student at Cornell, I had the great honor of performing a ballet piece at the Cornell Thai Festival 2012 to Alexandra, a composition by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great of Thailand. The pianist was also a friend of mine, who was pursuing a PhD in Economics at the time.
The Cornell Thai Festival was a community event organized by Thai students to promote Thai culture to the Cornell and Ithaca communities. We sold sit-down dinner tickets featuring food catered by a local Thai restaurant, and every Thai student contributed in one way or another. Some served food, others helped organize the event, while many performed through dance, music, and singing.
Although it was unrelated to academics, the experience taught me the value of teamwork and cultural exchange, and it remains one of my fondest memories from my years at Cornell.
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.
