Dr. Pattama L. Shimpalee, Ph.D. '04, has won the
Outstanding Dissertation Award 2006 in
the social sciences from The Graduate School of the University of South Carolina. Along with the
honor, Shimpalee, who earned her doctorate from the Moore School of Business in economics, will
receive $1,000.
Shimpalee, 36, a native of Bangkok, Thailand, wrote her dissertation on the subject of currency crises and institutions. Dr. Janice Boucher Breuer, associate professor of economics at Moore, was Shimpalee's dissertation adviser.
Shimpalee returned to USC in April on sabbatical leave from Chiang Mai University in Thailand, where she is a lecturer in economics. She and Breuer are currently working on a project about the duration of exchange rate systems.
Shimpalee earned her bachelor's degree in business administration at Ramkhamhaeng University in Bangkok, and also holds two master's degrees in economics: one from USC (1999) and another from the National Institute of Development Administration in Bangkok.
The Graduate School at USC presented two Outstanding Dissertation Awards 2006 - Pattama's in the social sciences, and the other in the category of mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering. The winners of the 2006 awards must have completed their doctorates between August 2004 and May 2006. The dissertations had to represent original work that "made an unusually significant contribution to the disciplines."
