Assoc. Prof. Sikarin Yoo-Kong, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics · Director, Institute for Fundamental Study (IF), Naresuan University
นักฟิสิกส์ · I am just an ordinary guy with a relentless curiosity about how nature works at its most fundamental level. Trained in physics in Thailand and in applied mathematics in the UK, I now spend my time between integrable systems, the classroom, and writing for students who are meeting these ideas for the first time.
