The Ceramic group is focusing on both the industrial ceramics which has high impact to the Thai ceramic industry and advanced ceramics which are the frontier research.

4.1) Research Interests in Industrial Ceramics
•Characterization and modification of clay and clay minerals
•Utilisation of rice husk ash
•Development of new ceramic glazes
•Development of ceramic processing equipment
•Characterisation of ancient potteries
•Defects in conventional ceramic products

4.2) Research Interests in Advanced Ceramics
•Ceramic gas sensors
•Electrical characterisation using an Impedance Spectroscopy technique
•Solid oxide fuel cell electrolyte materials
•Sol-gel processing and characterisation
•Processing of structural ceramics (Al2O3, Zirconia and ZTA, mullite
