Nattawat is a Fulbright Scholar and a PhD Candidate in Marketing at the Fox School of Business, Temple University (USA). Drawing on his Master of Public Policy from the University of Oxford (UK), his research investigates why good business practices can backfire, and how organizations can better align what they do with how consumers actually think.

His work has a consistent record of recognition. He earned Second Place in Temple University's Annual PhD Research Competition in 2023 and First Place in both 2024 and 2025, along with the 2025 People's Choice Award. His work has also attracted competitive grants from multiple sources.

Beyond research, Nattawat is a dedicated educator with teaching experience across the undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral levels. He holds an exceptional student rating of 4.9/5.0. This success is underpinned by his teaching qualification (CELTA) from the University of Cambridge (UK).

Nattawat maintains an active lifestyle centered on shared experiences. Whether he is at the gym, on the basketball court, or exploring new places with friends, he enjoys connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Also, he's an avid fan of sci-fi and anime—genres that often mirror the technological frontiers of his work.
