Hathai Sangsupan

Hathai carried out field work with FORRU-CMU for her PhD (Oregon State University) on seedling regeneration in the understory of the experimental forest restoration plots at Ban Mae Sa, funded by Fulbright Student Research Grant (Thailand-U.S. Educational Foundation) in the first year. After completing her doctorate, she joined the Biological Sciences Department at Linn-Benton Community College in Oregon, USA, where she is currently a Instructor in biology and soil science. Hathai maintains a passion for tropical forest restoration and actively looks for ways that she can meaningfully contribute to the field.
