Dr Naruporn was recently recognised by L’Oréal’s Thailand For Women in Science Special Fellowships for Covid-19 for her study, Preparation and Properties of Hydroxyapatite/Titanium Composite for Microbial Filtration Applications. In simple terms, her study helped to develop a surgical mask capable of filtering H1N1 Influenza A viruses and PM2.5, with 99% efficacy in filtering viruses according to the ASTM F2100 standard. She is proud that her work, which originated to combat PM2.5, has been timely in providing protection for medical frontline personnel against Covid-19. She is now working towards developing a bone substitute material of international standard that will eliminate the need for expensive imports. She also hopes the surgical mask filter will also be made available for the general public in the near future. In her free time, she can be found in her backyard vegetable garden. She finds gardening requires the same dedication as doing research in terms of patience, endurance, observation and attention to details.
