Dr. Pantip Ampornrat holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA. She also earned two master's degrees. One from the University of Michigan and another from the Department of Nuclear Technology, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University. Her academic journey began with a bachelor's degree in Physics from Mahidol University.

Currently, Dr. Pantip works in the Small-Modular Reactor Regulation Division, Office of Atoms for Peace under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Thailand. This agency is responsible for nuclear and radiation regulatory oversight in the country. Her expertise spans nuclear safety regulation, reactor component materials, material degradation mechanisms in nuclear reactors, radiation effects on reactor metals, and nuclear reactor design for both research and power applications. She is also proficient in nuclear-based material analysis techniques such as neutron scattering and neutron activation analysis.

Dr. Pantip has led several key projects, including the Construction licensing approval of the BNCT research reactor at Suranaree University of Technology and the regulatory oversight of aging management for the TRR-1/M1 research reactor at the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology. She actively follows the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) program in Thailand, and explores regulatory frameworks aligned with IAEA and international standards. She and her division are responsible for developing the regulatory infrastructure in preparation for the SMR regulation, as it will be the first nuclear power program in Thailand.
