Pattiya Pibulchinda
YCN representative for Thailand
Postdoctoral Researcher at Purdue University, USA
Pattiya Pibulchinda is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Purdue University, USA. She earned her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University, where she studied ceramic materials for energy applications, particularly solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers. Her doctoral research investigated the degradation mechanisms and characteristics of Ni-YSZ fuel electrodes in solid oxide electrolysis cells, with the goal of enhancing efficiency and long-term stability for clean hydrogen production. Her work combines ceramic processing, electrochemical testing, degradation analysis, and advanced microstructural characterization. At Purdue, she is currently using X-ray computed tomography to investigate the three-dimensional microstructure and behavior of advanced materials.
Beyond research, Pattiya is actively involved in the ceramics community through the ACerS Presidents Council of Student Advisors (PCSA), contributing to professional development, mentoring, webinars, and educational activities. She also maintains strong connections with the scientific community in Thailand and is actively involved with Thailand’s Junior Science Talent Program associated with the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA).
As the YCN Country Representative for Thailand, she hopes to strengthen connections between young ceramists in Thailand and the international ceramics community, promote opportunities for scientific collaboration, and support activities that bring researchers together.

Turning Waste into Raw Materials for the Ceramic Industry.
Waste materials were once seen as a burden but are increasingly being redefined as valuable resources for ceramic production. Through advances in materials engineering, waste can be used as secondary raw materials in the ceramic industry. This shift enables more circular and resource-efficient ceramic manufacturing systems.

Implementing 3D-Printed Technical Ceramics in Regulated Medical Fields.
Bringing a new manufacturing technology into medicine requires far more than producing an impressive component. In highly regulated fields, innovation must be translated into repeatable processes, documented quality, reliable materials and, ultimately, evidence of clinical value. Lithoz has spent more than a decade building this bridge for Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM).
