Work Experience

2020 – Present      Part-time Lecturer Aerospace Engineering,
                              Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand       
 
2015 - 2017           Lecturer & Program Coordinator in Aerospace
                              Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok,
                              Thailand
                                              - Developed the first UAS design and development course in Thailand that focuses
                                                on practical real-world UAS implementation. 
                                              - Lectured Bachelor level courses such as Introduction to UAV, Introduction to 
                                                Aircraft Design, and Aerospace Engineering Laboratory and Experimentation.
                                              - Developed collaboration UK universities (and universities in Russell Group)
                                                such as Queen Mary University, and University of Southampton, and jointly
                                                developed 2+2 and 3+1 Bachelor Degree programme.
                                              - Formed the first UAS design team at the university for development of long-
                                                endurance, high-performance fixed-wing UAS for maritime and costal survey
                                                in collaboration with Thai’s department of forestry.
                                              - Member of Aerospace Programme Curriculum Committee.
                                              - Mentored multiple Bachelor student engineering design projects such as Survey 
                                                UAV project, Durable Quadcopter for ISR Mission Project.
                                              - Mentored CU Aircraft Design Team that participated in AIAA Aircraft Design 
                                                Competition in USA.
