From January 19 to February 6, 2026, Ms. Khin Kalyar Nyein, a Master\u2019s student from Dept of Materials Engineering, Kasetsart University, participated in the JST Sakura Science Exchange Program 2026, hosted by Nagoya University on behalf of the Japan Science and Technology Agency. The program brought together students from four leading Thai universities: Chulalongkorn University, Kasetsart University, Mahidol University, and Mahanakorn University of Technology.
\u2728 During the program, students engaged in advanced research on the synthesis of Pt\/C catalysts using solution plasma techniques for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR), a key process in fuel cell technology. They also participated in the BMMP 2026 Symposium, which highlighted cutting-edge research on biomimetic materials for energy and environmental applications.
