ISE Proudly Congratulates Our Students on the I-Squared Hackathon 2025! ISE Proudly Congratulates Our Students on the I-Squared Hackathon 2025! The International School of Engineering (ISE) is thrilled to celebrate the outstanding success of the I-Squared Hackathon 2025, organized entirely by our exceptional International School of Engineering Student Committee (ISESC). Over the course of 2 weeks last month, ISE was alive with innovation as students from across Thailand convened to tackle a critical challenge in data science and machine learning. This year, participants focused on tumor classification from liver ultrasound images, applying advanced AI techniques to a meaningful, real-world healthcare problem. Beyond the intense competition, the hackathon provided a rich learning environment, featuring insightful lectures, hands-on workshops, and dynamic panel discussions. We are incredibly proud to see this level of collaboration, experimentation, and professional growth happening right here at Chulalongkorn University. A Heartfelt Thank You An event of this magnitude is a collaborative effort. We extend our deepest gratitude to: Our Generous Sponsors: Thank you to Google, Gulf, and Bright Hair Studio for your invaluable support of this student-led initiative. Our Esteemed Lecturers & Mentors: Special thanks to Dr. Jing Tang, D.Eng., Dr. Thananop Kobchaisawat, and Mr. Norapat Buppodom for dedicating your time and sharing your expertise. We also thank Fiona H.Y. Lee, Chatchai Antarasena, and Piya Siribodhi from Google for their guidance and mentorship during the event. Our Incredible Students: Above all, congratulations to the ISESC staff and organizers. Your hard work, professionalism, and dedication brought this powerful event to life. You are a testament to the spirit of engineering leadership and innovation at ISE. We look forward to seeing the continued impact of all the bright minds who participated! #ISquaredHackathon #ISEChula #ChulaEngineering #DataScienceForImpact #MachineLearning #Hackathon #ISESC #Academics #ChulalongkornUniversity

Aerospace Students Visit Thai Airways Flight Simulator Aerospace Students Visit Thai Airways Flight Simulator On Friday 7 November 2025, Aerospace Engineering students from ISE visited Thai Flight Training at Thai Airways, where they experienced firsthand how professional pilots are trained. After an engaging briefing session, students were given a rare opportunity to step inside the full-flight simulators and try their hand at take-off and landing under the guidance of professional instructors. The visit offered a fascinating glimpse into real-world flight operations and cockpit environments. As part of the Aircraft Performance course, this experience helped students connect theoretical knowledge with real aviation practice, while also sparking greater interest in careers related to flight operations and aircraft performance. ISE sincerely thanks Thai Airways for their warm hospitality and for sharing invaluable insights that continue to inspire the next generation of aerospace engineers.
