Phuping Sucharitakul (Thai: ภูพิงค์ สุจริตกุล; 3 December 1991) is a Thai Zoologist specializing in jellyfish. He was criticized for naming a deadly box jellyfish (Chironex indrasaksajiae)[1] after a Thai princess, Princess Indrasakdi Sachi, who shares the same paternal ancestor.

Biography[edit]

Phuping Sucharitakul was born in the House of Sucharitakul. His father is a grandson of Chao Praya Sudharm Montri, a father of Princess Indrasakdi Sachi and Phra Sucharit Suda,[2] and a grandson of Chao Praya Aphaiphubet from the House of Abhaiwongse (a Cambodian royal family)[3] making him related to both Thai and Cambodian royal families.

After finishing high school at the Prince Royal’s College in 2010, he attended Chiang Mai University. In 2013, he was stung by a box jellyfish nearby a Mrigadayavan Palace, a palace where Princess Indrasakdi Sachi resided.[4] It was his second near death experience after a Kawasaki disease he experienced when he was young.[5] Due to the incident, he was interested in jellyfish researches.[6] He then became an intern in a Phuket Marine Biological Center where he published his first publication on the box jellyfish topic.[7] After that, he was a research assistant at Ramathibodi medical school before going to the University of Auckland as a visiting researcher.[8] In 2017, he attended Griffith University for his PhD.

He was a member of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO under a Mapping the Harmful Jellyfish in the Tropical West Pacific Waters program.[9] He is a member of Australian Marine Sciences Association (AMSA), vice president of Griffith Thai Students Association and PhD student representative of the Australian River Institute.[10]
