Research Expertise

• Physically based Modeling
• Computer Simulation and Virtual Environment for Surgical Training
• Computer Graphics and Visualization
  • Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligent

Work Experience

• Research Assistant: 2007 – 2009
  Medical Robotics and Computer Integrated Surgery Group (MeRCIS), EECS, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA
  Research and develop the third ventriculostomy simulator for training surgeon by using GiPSi framework. The GiPSi (General Interactive Physical Simulation Interface) is an open source/open architecture framework for developing surgical simulations.
• Consultant and Programmer: 2006 – 2008
  Government Documents, Kelvin Smith Library, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA
  Assisted and developed online databases in the discarding and item selection projects. The discarding project was a database application which stored the information of discarded government documents. Before discarding, all information needed to be stored and other libraries had to be notified that they could request and view selected documents. The item selection project was the database application to store the items that library subscribed for using in government documents. These selected items have been updated annually. The web applications were developed on Visual Studio .Net using C# and Microsoft SQL.
• Research Assistant: 2007
  Digital Case, Kelvin Smith Library, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA
  Developed a web application to extract the information from scanned rare documents and stored in text format. This web application converted and corrected the text file into the XML file by using the TEI-Lite document Type Definition. After that, the XML _les were stored in the database.
• Consultant and Programmer: 2006
  Art and Audio Department, Nakornthon Hospital, Bangkok, THAILAND
  Assisted and developed an online database for reserving the instruments and meeting rooms in the hospital. The application is developed on Visual Studio .Net using C# and Microsoft SQL.
• Consultant and Programmer: 2004 – 2006
  IT Department, Rustic Pathways Inc., Willoughby, OH, USA
  Assisted and developed a database application to store and retrieve student information from the time they apply until the end of the summer travel program by using Microsoft Access. Rustic Pathways is the summer travel program agency for high school students, families, groups and college students.
• Teaching Assistant: 2002-2004
  Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA
  Fall 2002: EECS 324, Simulation Techniques in Engineer
  Spring 2003: EECS 396 & EECS 600, Computer Graphics for Simulation
  Spring 2004: EECS 366 & EECS 466, Computer Graphics
• Intern: Summer 1998
  National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre (NECTEC), Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Bangkok, THAILAND
  Studied the technique for Thai speech recognition and synthesis at the software and language engineering laboratory.
• Programmer: 1994
  Ratchasuda College, Mahidol University, Bangkok, THAILAND
  Developed a screen reader program by using terminate and stay resident technique in DOS. This software was used for reading the screen and sent the character to Thai language synthesis hardware, which built by the Computer Engineering Department, Chulalongkorn University, which allowed blind people to use computers.

Awards

• Scholarship from the Development and Promotion of Science and Technology Talents Project (DPST).
• Gold Medal Honor of Physics in 1998.
• Best Student Award from Dr.Tab Nilanidhi Foundation in 1996.
