Research Vision

My current research vision aims to tackle challenges in technology-enabled education, healthcare, and agriculture, enhancing lives through personalized and interactive information platforms tailored for these sectors, with a focus on immersive technologies and holographic visualization. This vision is currently partially supported by the HoloGrad project, funded by PMU-C Research Funding Agency in collaboration with Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok. Contract Number: C05F660157 (1 July 2023 – 30 June 2025)

I was the founding Principal Investigator (PI) of the HoloGrad project. I played a key role in its inception, driving the conceptualization, research analysis, methodological framework, software and platform development, and system visualization – effectively overseeing and leading all R&D efforts. In 2023, I successfully secured funding for the project through a competitive research grant from PMU-C supplemented by a matching contribution from Bumrungrad International Hospital. The project officially commenced on 01 July 2023. Under my leadership, it progressed through its designated phases, culminating in the publication of three papers. However, upon my appointment at Chulalongkorn University in August 2024, the grant – being institutionally bound – remained with CMKL University. Consequently, on 01 August 2024, Dr. Sally Goldin – my project’s Co-PI – assumed the role of PI for the extension period, overseeing further refinements to HoloGrad and strategic planning for user testing and human trials. Since joining ISE on 01 August 2024, my involvement in the project has been limited to providing complimentary advisory support as needed. The initial grant supported my research vision and enabled the comprehensive design and development of the HoloGrad platform which now – as a result of Dr. Goldin’s leadership and contributions – stands poised for deployment at Bumrungrad International Hospital, pending the successful completion of user testing and patient trials, along with requisite approvals from hospital executives and management.
