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

Robotics AI students presented their works in 2025 SICE Festival with Annual Conference (SICE FES 2025). Robotics AI students presented their works in 2025 SICE Festival with Annual Conference (SICE FES 2025), organized by the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers in Japan (SICE) in cooperation with the Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology in Thailand (ECTI), during September 9 – 12, 2025, in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The session “Bridging Robotics Innovations between Japan and Thailand” was co-organized by Tohoku University (Asst. Prof. Jose Victorio Salazar Luces & Prof. Yasuhisa Hirata) and Chulalongkorn University (Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat). The paper entitled “Hand Gesture-Guided Robotic Manipulator for Handling Laparoscope During Minimally Invasive Surgery” was presented by Ms. Yada Suksawasdi, Ms. Tanyaton Oranrigsupak, and Mr. Norapath Arjanurak. This work was co-supervised by Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, Ph.D. (ISE), Asst. Prof. Voranaddha Vacharathit, M.D., and Assoc. Prof. Sopark Manasnayakorn M.D., Ph.D. (Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University). The paper entitled “Real-time Computer Vision Feedback System for Golf Swing Posture Analysis Using Pose Estimation and LLMs” was presented by Mr. Suppakit Laomahamek, Mr. Trivit Chaiyaraks Worakulpisut, Ms. Chinnapat Chaimongkoltrakul, and Mr. Dissakorn Plubpla. This work was supervised by Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, Ph.D. The paper entitled “Longer Context Vision-Language-Action Model Instructed UR Arm with Vacuum Gripper” was presented by Mr. Bhunakit Chantaraseno, Mr. Napat Saiyasitpanich, and Mr. Ratchapon Triruangworawat. This work was co-supervised by Dr. Jing Tang and Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, Ph.D. Assoc. Prof. Ronnapee Chaichaowarat, Ph.D. also gave a talk entitled “Transformable Exoskeleton-Wheelchair Platform for Enhanced Mobility” at the JSAE-SICE Automotive Industry Special Event “Japan-Thailand Exchange in Automotive Industry”.

Nano-Engineering students presented their research at the NanoSeries2025 – 4th Edition Conference on Global Nanotechnology, held at the University of Valencia, Spain.
Nano-Engineering students presented their research at the NanoSeries2025 – 4th Edition Conference on Global Nanotechnology, held at the University of Valencia, Spain. We are delighted to announce that our Nano-Engineering students presented their research at the NanoSeries2025 – 4th Edition Conference on Global Nanotechnology, held at the University of Valencia, Spain, from June 17–20, 2025. The research, “Stability Enhancement of Paraffin-Based Rocket Fuel Grains Using Carbon Nanotube and Graphene Nanocomposites Blend,” was conducted by Chawalwat Martkamjan (4th year), Jiruntanin Ratanarangsank (4th year), Pitchayut Lertniratwong (4th year), and Somalinavann Thav (2nd year), under the supervision of Dr. Apipon Methachittipan (ISE). Representing their team, Chawalwat Martkamjan and Somalinavann Thav shared their research in the poster session among an international group of advanced researchers, an experience they described as both rewarding and enlightening. Aligned with NanoSeries2025’s mission to foster collaboration, bridge research with real-world applications, and highlight the value of diversity and inclusion in science, their participation reflects not only the technical quality of their work but also the growing global presence of our students in advancing nanotechnology for aerospace and energy applications.
