Forward/はじめに
The Annual Report of the Thailand Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and
Tokyo Institute of Technology (TAIST-Tokyo Tech) includes information on events and
activities throughout the 2014 calendar year.
A key feature this year has been the augmentation of a strong and confident TAIST program.
TAIST-Tokyo Tech has taken the opportunity to contribute to human resource development
and progress in education and research while actively seeking more diverse ways to
contribute to the collaboration and cooperation with supporters, especially in the industrial
sector. Correspondingly, TAIST-Tokyo Tech has focused on enhancing human resources to
foster engineers and high-level development researchers. This objective has been achieved
through co-advising by Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) professors, the excellent
research staff of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA),and
highly experienced faculty at the Thai universities. With this, TAIST-Tokyo Tech has also put
emphasis on working towards sustainable educational, research, and social development in
Asia, and working more closely with supporting companies and organizations so as to
become more active and successful.
This is the first time that an annual report is published, with target audiences being the
supporting members, the TAIST Steering Committee on both the Thai and Tokyo Tech sides,
and related organizations.
As a continuation from preceding years, Newsletter Volume 10 - Annual Report 2014
aims to inform the public about the work and activities of TAIST-Tokyo Tech and serves as a
vehicle for assessing and evaluating the work and activities of the organization throughout the
2014 calendar year. This Newsletter can be accessed from the website of TAIST-Tokyo Tech

Dear TAIST Students,
I’m one of seniors who is about to be graduated. Believe itor not, at this very moment I am still editing my thesis publication,but eventually, I will finish it. What I need you to understand is thatyou need to focus on your final objective when you set foot in theTAIST program. When you can see the goal, you will know how toget there. The most important thing here is time management, whichI am not very good at. But now I am getting better with time. Theonly thing you should know about time is that it will never comeback. Moreover, you should also know that if you can spend yourtime wisely, the outcome of your achievement will be such awonderful thing you will remember it your whole life.

Finally, now I have already graduated. Though I felt misery, the friendship of my friendspushed through our course work and gave solace when a thesis was failed. I saw the talent and well-intentioned support of teachers. I thought, “I’m the first batch. Finding a job with the master degreemay be hard.” I believe that I got a job because of this sentence: “I use English to communicate witha Japanese teacher.” The two years of tests taught me that the trouble makes me stronger. Work willbe valuable and useful if we respect and believe. I would like to thank for everyone for pushing methrough this fun experience. Work will be valuable and useful if we respect and believe.

Formerly, I was just an undergraduate student who didn’t wantto learn anymore. I didn’t want to study for the master’s degree.However, when TAIST-Tokyo Tech team came to organize a roadshow atmy university, it was the turning point in my life. I applied to theMaster’s degree in Advanced and Sustainable Environmental Engineering(EnvE) at TAIST-Tokyo Tech. TAIST financially supported my studiesfor two years, and I passed. I decided to learn because of that freetuition.
But I didn’t even know the life after these were many stories.On the first day of class, I learned with a Japanese teacher. English wasdifficult, but English from Japanese was more difficult. I felt that I couldnot get through it. We had exams in class, vast open-ended tests that Inever thought I could have done. And I had to do almost everything onmy own to complete my thesis.
The TAIST Tokyo-Tech program has given me many valuablethings, including using of English communication in class, studyingwith professors from reputable institutions both from Japan andThailand, doing research with NSTDA researchers, who arespecialists, especially my advisor, the guru of algae, and receiving aMaster’s Degree in Engineering from the Kasetsart University.
The intensive course led me to be alert and concentrate all thetime. Review lessons after class were needed. The exams were heldas soon as we finished a class. Japanese professors gave us insightinto the thinking and behavior of the Japanese people. Also, I had thebest opportunity to go abroad twice through this program. One wasmy first trip abroad. It was a wonderful time for me.
Finally, I cannot thank enough Associate Professor Dr. WilaiChiemchaisri, Dr. Sorawit Powtongsook, Associate Professor Dr.Thongchai Rohitatisha Srinophakun and TAIST Tokyo-Tech’s staff forgiving me the best time in my master’s degree.

Most importantly, I would like to express my sinceregratitude to my advisor, namely Dr. Chowarit Mitsantisuk, for hisconsistent support of my M.Eng. study research. Thanks for hispatience, motivation, enthusiasm, and immense knowledge.Along with his guidance, the thesis had been conducted anddeveloped with the attention and right knowledge. It is hard toimagine not having a good advisor and mentor for my M.Eng.study as I had.
Besides, I appreciated the encouragement, insightfulcomments, and in-depth questions of my thesis committees: Prof. Yasuharu Koike and Ph.D. Pished Bunnun.
Thanks to my fellow CMIT laboratory of KasetsartUniversity for the stimulating discussions, the sleeplessnights we were working together before deadlines, and forall the wonderful moments we had last year.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank TAISTand NSTDA for awarding me with scholarships to continuemy education to the end.
Born in the countryside to a family of agriculturists, PonlapakPhuhinkong, received a bachelor’s degree in Computer engineeringfrom King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT)and a master’s degree in Information and Communication Technologyfor Embedded Systems program (ICTES) from Kasetsart University(KU) under the TAIST-Tokyo Tech scholarship. My researchinspirations began in my high school days when informationtechnologies contributed to my life, and I got several awards from aninternational research conference. Until now, I have written about 4international publications on disaster hazards by using information fromsatellites.
In the future, I would like to work in an engineering field withan international company collaborating between Thailand and others, bethe leader of the information and communication technology companieswhich can change the world. Inspirations and ideas obtained from theTAIST-Tokyo Tech scholarship can improve potency of economy andindustry structure in my country for near future. In conclusion, Irecognize that this research would not have been possible without thefinancial assistance of TAIST-Tokyo Tech, Geo-Informatics and SpaceTechnology Development Agency (GISTDA) and Kasetsart University(KU).
