Warinya Chemnasiri, BEng, PhD
Dr Warinya Chemnasiri obtained a Bachelor in Engineering from the Chulalongkorn University before getting her PhD in Chemistry, specialisation in Nanomaterials and Sensors, from the University of Central Florida.
Dr Warinya worked in the innovation sector in Thailand and Northern America prior to joining CSII at the creation of the School. She initiated our Health & Wellbeing specialization cluster through her courses on Health Food Technologies and Soft Robotics.
I’ve always been fascinated by how materials and systems are engineered to solve real-world problems, especially in health, wellness, and sustainability. What brings me to CSII every morning is the joy of learning alongside my students and the excitement of helping them turn bold ideas into meaningful innovations.
