Experiences at the University

Mae Fah Luang University was a home for me and the charming environment offered me a good place to study. I am grateful to the Center of Excellence in Fungal Research, MFU, and Prof. Hyde for the opportunities given to me to complete my research, not only that but also giving chances to get knowledge from the top mycologist in the field. The time that spent during Ph.D., not an individual work is a team effort with co-authors, lab mates, and staff.

Alumni wisdom

Doing research is not just about your degree, it is a whole new way of your life. There are different ways to get involved and create your own experience, so be sure to take advantage of every opportunity available.
