Dr. Chaosuan Kanchanomai was born in Bangkok, Thailand. He received the B.Eng. degree in Industrial Engineering from Kasetsart University, Thailand, in 1991, the M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, in 1995, and the D.Eng. in Materials Science from Nagaoka University of Technology, Japan, in 2002.
He joined Thammasat University in 1991, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research interests include low cycle fatigue, high cycle fatigue, fatigue crack growth, creep crack growth, fracture mechanics, and wear for various engineering materials (e.g. lead-free solders and lead-containing solders), materials in biomechanics (e.g. fixation plate for fractured femur), light metals (e.g. magnesium alloy), polymers (e.g. epoxy resin and its composites), and heat treatment alloy (e.g. steel hardened by the carbonitriding).
