Hathai Sangsupan

Hathai carried out field work with FORRU-CMU for her PhD (through Oregon State University). Her research focused on seedling regeneration in the understory of the experimental forest restoration plots at Ban Mae Sa Mai and was funded by Fulbright Student Research Grant (Thailand-U.S. Educational Foundation)  in the first year. Hathai is now an Oregon State University Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Integrative Biology (College of Science). Hathai maintains a passion for tropical forest restoration and actively looks for ways that she can meaningfully contribute to the field.
