                              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.
