Jitiporn Wongwatcharapaiboon

Jitiporn Wongwatcharapaiboon is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Thammasat University, Thailand, and Executive Director of the Design, Business, and Technology Management (DBTM) program. She is a core contributor to interdisciplinary research on Nature-based Solutions (NbS), urban climate resilience, and human-centred environmental innovation, with a strong focus on hot–humid and rapidly urbanising regions in Southeast Asia. Her research integrates urban design, green and blue infrastructure, PM2.5 and indoor–outdoor air quality, and low-cost environmental technologies, supported by IoT-enabled monitoring, data-driven evaluation, and design-thinking methodologies. Dr. Jitiporn’s work emphasizes scalable, community-embedded solutions for vulnerable and low-income urban populations, aligning with global priorities on climate adaptation, public health, and sustainable cities (SDGs 3, 11, and 13). She has led and co-developed applied research and pilot projects in Thailand in collaboration with government agencies, international universities, and industry partners.

At the strategic level, Dr. Jitiporn bridges research, policy, and implementation, translating academic knowledge into deployable urban solutions. She has coordinated and contributed to multi-institutional projects funded by national and international bodies, including British Council ISPF, NRCT, and university–industry consortia. Her supervision and publications span NbS performance assessment, urban environmental quality, climate-responsive architectural design, and digital innovation for sustainability, making her an active collaborator for international research grants, joint publications, PhD supervision, and pilot-scale urban experiments.
