Thammasat University

On Wednesday I attended the NTC Scholarship ceremony in Phayathai, where Jirawat Thaenthong received funding for the remainder of his studies. I am Jirawat's advisor for his PhD studies on mobile networking. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) is the telecommunications regulator in Thailand, and in the past year set up the Telecommunications Research and Industrial Developmenent Institute (TRIDI) to fund research in the field. One of the first areas of funding was scholarships. Jirawat was one of the 22 recipients (7 PhD, 15 Masters) from across Thailand. Well done, Jirawat!

Very few updates recently since I've been busy at work, as well as outside of work. This semester I've been teaching Introduction to Data Communications to 3rd year Computer Science and IT students. I just finished marking their Final Exams on the weekend, so I have a month break from teaching now until Semester 2. I plan to do a few more updates during this time.

BTW last week was in fact the start of my second contract here at SIIT. So looks like I'll be hanging around for another couple of years...
