Dr. Panomsak Meemon is an expert in biomedical optics and biophotonics. Dr. Panomsak has a bachelor in Electrical engineering at Chiang Mai University, Thailand and he earned a PhD degree in optics at University of Central Florida, USA. He is the head of School of Physics at Suranaree University of Technology in Thailand. Dr. Panomsak visited to PUCP from 13 to 17 of November 2023 to collaborate with GIBIO research group thanks to the DARI financial support. Dr. Fernando Zvietcovich invited to him to participate in GIBIO research projects to develop an optical coherence tomography with elastrography.
“The main purpose is to collaborate in the construction of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) system here and explore other possibilities of collaboration. In addition, I would also like to explore the possibility of student or staff exchange between Thailand and PUCP.”
