Brief CV of Professor Dr. Dusit Kruangam
Professor Dr. Dusit Kruangam got the Dr. Degree of electrical engineering from Hamakawa laboratory, Osaka university, Japan in 1988 for thesis entitled “Characterizations of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide alloys and their applications to optoelectronic devices”. In 1988 he came back to Thailand and worked as a professor at the department of electrical engineering, faculty of engineering, Chulalongkorn university, Bangkok. He got several awards from the research works on amorphous silicon alloy solar cells and visible light emitting diodes including Young ASEAN Scientist and Technologist Award, Outstanding Researcher Award from the National Research Counsil of Thailand. In 2005 He moved to work in private sectors responding on the mass production of silicon solar cells in Solartron PCL and Ekarat Solar Co., Ltd. In 2009 he established his own company named Thai Solar Future Co., Ltd. where made records in the design and installation of PV solar farms and solar roofs more than 70 MWp in Thailand. In 2010 he was a founder of Thai Photovoltaic Industries Association (TPVA) and today he is the honorary president of TPVA. In 2004, Dr. Dusit served as a secretary general of the organizing committee of the international PVSEC-14 in Bangkok, Thailand. During 2014-2020, he was appointed by the Prime Minister of Thailand as a member of National Reform Committee on Energy. Currently Dr. Dusit is a member of International Advisory Committee (IAC) of International PVSEC and the General Chairman of the International PVSEC-36, 2025 Bangkok, Thailand. Dr. Dusit received the Royal Thai Orders and Decorations from His Majesty Royal King Rama Nine as follows: in 2010 Knight Grand Cordon (Special Class) of the Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand and in 2016 Member (Second Class) of the Most Admirable Order of the Direkgunabhorn.
Brief CV of Dr. Dhirayut Chenvidhya
Dhirayut Chenvidhya was born in Bangkok, Thailand. He received the B.Eng., M.Eng. in Electrical Engineering in 1993, and the Doctor of
Engineering in Energy Technology in 2003 from the King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Bangkok, Thailand.
He is now the Director of the CES Solar Cells Testing Center (CSSC), Pilot Plant Development and Training Institute (PDTI) of the
King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). He is also the chairperson of the Technical Committee for PV system of
the Thai Industry Standard (TIS) standard. His main research areas include solar cells characterization, standard testing and
PV systems analysis. He has more than 120 publications in areas of solar cells characterization and PV systems including in
chapter in textbooks, international journals and international conferences.
Brief CV of Dr. Amornrat Limmanee
Dr. Amornrat Limmanee received bachelor's degree and master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tokyo in 2005, followed by her D.Eng. in Physical Electronics from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2008. After returned Thailand she has been working as a researcher at Solartec, National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Thailand. She has a long experience with basic and applied research in the areas of photovoltaic and solar energy systems including surface passivation layers for crystalline silicon solar cells, PV indoor and outdoor testing and characterizations. She received the Best Poster Presentation Award on the presentation entitled "Actual Performance and Degradation Rate of Different Types of Photovoltaic Modules: A Case Study in Thailand" at the 6th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion 2014 (WCPEC-6), which took place in Kyoto, Japan. With recent NSTDA re-organization, she has moved to National Energy Technology Center (ENTEC) in 2020. Now Amornrat is Solar Photovoltaic Research Team Leader. Her research interests and responsibilities focus on PV performance and reliability under tropical climatic conditions, PV fault detection and PV sustainability.
