Abstract

This article presents a concise overview of Duangkamol Ruen-Ngam’s academic affiliation and available research metrics. The supplied profile lists 15 documents, 364 citations, and an h-index of 8. These indicators offer a quantitative snapshot of scholarly output and citation activity but do not independently establish research quality or originality.[1]

Keywords

Duangkamol Ruen-Ngam; Young Researcher Award; chemical engineering; scholarly publications; citation impact; research evaluation; Thailand.

Introduction

The Young Researcher Award recognizes research activity and academic contributions. Evaluating a researcher requires consideration of publication records, subject relevance, originality, and broader scholarly contributions. Bibliometric indicators can support this assessment when interpreted alongside verified research outputs and contextual evidence.[2]

Research Profile

Ruen-Ngam is affiliated with Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin in Thailand. The supplied Scopus profile identifies the researcher through Author ID 58175373800. Chemical engineering is the stated subject area. Her ORCID record provides an additional researcher-identification reference.

Research Contributions

The available information establishes a research profile in chemical engineering. Specific research topics, individual discoveries, and practical applications should be described only after examining verified publications. This approach supports accurate representation of the researcher’s contributions without attributing unverified findings.

Publications

The supplied metrics report 15 indexed documents. Individual article titles, publication years, journal details, and DOI identifiers should be confirmed through the linked author record before inclusion in a definitive bibliography.[1]

Research Impact

The reported 364 citations and h-index of 8 provide quantitative indicators of citation activity. Citation counts can vary over time and across databases; therefore, these figures should be interpreted with attention to the database, retrieval date, and disciplinary context.

Award Suitability

The documented affiliation and reported bibliometric indicators provide a starting point for reviewing the profile for the International Young Scientist Award. A comprehensive assessment should also consider publication quality, originality, individual contribution, and relevance to the award criteria. The available information alone does not confirm an award decision.

Conclusion

Duangkamol Ruen-Ngam’s supplied profile records 15 documents, 364 citations, and an h-index of 8 in chemical engineering. Verification of the underlying publications and further evaluation of research contributions would provide a stronger basis for assessing her academic work.

Dr. Hamid Kazemi Hakki research focuses on advancing photocatalysis, surface engineering, and material design through the development of highly efficient TiO₂- and ZnO-based thin films, nanocomposites, and hybrid photocatalysts. Significant work has explored sol–gel dip-coated TiO₂–ZnO films, where investigations into surface properties, crystal structure, and film adherence have provided key insights into optimizing photocatalytic performance for pollutant degradation. Additional contributions examine the influence of thermal annealing on TiO₂ film morphology and crystallinity, demonstrating how controlled heat treatments enhance adhesion, surface uniformity, and photocatalytic activity. A major research direction includes the synthesis of Fe-ZnO photocatalysts supported on hydrophobic silica aerogels, enabling floating systems capable of highly efficient photodecomposition of BTX compounds in wastewater. These studies integrate sol–gel chemistry, sequential impregnation, and nanomaterial modification to achieve improved light absorption, charge separation, and catalytic durability. Across multiple projects, the research advances fundamental understanding of structure–function relationships while contributing practical solutions for environmental remediation, solar-driven oxidation processes, and sustainable catalytic technologies. This body of work supports ongoing innovation in photocatalytic materials with enhanced stability, reusability, and performance under real-world conditions.
