2007 Graduate Catalog and 2006 Annual R & D Report Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT) School of Bio-Chemical Engineering and Technology Faculty Members and Research Interests, 2007 Dr. Luckhana Lawtrakul Assistant Professor B.Sc. in Chemistry, Kasetsart University, Thailand M.Sc. in Physical Chemistry, Kasetsart University, Thailand Dr.rer.nat. in Theoretical Biochemistry, University of Vienna, Austria Areas of Specialization: Computational Chemistry, Computer-Aided Molecular Modeling and Molecular Design, Structure-Activity Relationships. Research Interest: Molecular modeling is a collective term that refers to theoretical methods and computational techniques to model or mimic the behavior of molecules. The techniques are used in the fields of computational chemistry and computational biology for studying molecular systems ranging from small chemical systems to large biological molecules. Currently applications in the following areas are of special concern: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum chemical calculations on the stability of guest-cyclodextrins inclusion complexes, and Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies of inclusion complexes of various guests with cyclodextrins. Dr. Pisanu Toochinda Lecturer B.Sc. in Chemistry, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering, The University of Akron, Akron, Ohio, USA Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, The University of Akron, Akron, Ohio, USA Areas of Specialization: Photo-catalytic synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO 2 /H 2 O, Photochemical solar cells, Gas-solid reactor design, Heterogeneous catalysis, Nano-material / zeolite syntheses, Bio-molecular imprinted materials. Research Interests: Carbamate and Isocyanate Synthesis from Gas- Solid Catalytic Oxidative Carbonylation Reactions Development of environmentally benign synthesis processes that eliminate toxic feedstocks, combine process steps, and result in a net reduction of pollutants and energy use rests on, to a great extent, innovations in reactor design, reaction pathways, and catalysis. Carbonylation reactions serve as a new route for nonphosgene processes in the production of carbamates and isocyanates at mild conditions for the replacement of highly toxic phosgene in the synthesis of carbamates and isocyanates. Combining the gassolid reactor system and the Pd-based catalysts could provide promising alternatives for carbamate and isocyanate synthesis in the industry. Photocatalysis CO 2 emission has become a worldwide problem due to its potential impact on global warming. Photocatalytic reactions, which involve the combined use of photo energy and catalysts to convert reactants to products, provide a promising alternative to reduce CO 2 and convert it into useful hydrocarbon products (e.g., methane and methanol). Photochemical Solar Cells Solar energy could be converted into electrical energy via photochemical solar cells. A promising type of solar cell is based on commercially feasible and chemically stable wide-bandgap semiconductors (ie. TiO 2 ). In order to enhance the sensitivity of the cell to solar radiation, sensitizing organic dyes or semiconductor nanocrystals are coated on the metal oxide surface. While the solar cell is exposed to the sun, the sensitizers donate electrons into the oxide conduction band, after which harvesting of the electrons takes place, leading to solar power generation. 13
