AIT Annual Report on Research 2009
PREFACE
The Asian Institute of Technology celebrated its Golden Jubilee last year. Based on the achievements and experiences and the rapidly changing needs of the region and indeed the world, the institute realizes that there is an urgent need to adapt and position ourselves to meet the coming decades. While higher education demands in the region are expected to expand, there is also increased number of good educational institutions and mobility of students all over the world in pursuit of their interests and thirst for knowledge. While academic quality is important in any institute, such organizations have long term recognition based on the research and development activity that is carried out and brings benefit to society. It is with this background that AIT plans to consolidate its While the institute debates a new financial model research and build stronger inter-disciplinary to bring stability and sustainability to the institute, teams, bring greater focus to research and it has also created an AIT Strategy document develop new strong partnerships to face up to which highlights present strengths and future the emerging needs of the region and beyond. needs. The activities include developing a research strategy for the institute. The latter is The past year has been a successful year with being developed and will include four major about thirty percent increase in the number of components, namely, focus of research, sponsored projects and there being an increased research quality, partnership and collaboration number of projects which have built on and fund raising for developing capacity and partnerships with external and internal trans- infrastructure which will attract some of the best disciplinary partners. After considerable researchers to the institute. In order to do this in deliberation inside the institute a Center of a systematic manner a Results Based Excellence in “Sustainable Development in the Management (RBM) approach is being used. It context of climate change” was launched. The is hoped that this will be used in the future to six themes under this umbrella area has been hold discussions with various stake holders agreed to be Vulnerability and Risk Reduction, which will include donors, government agencies Adaptation and Livelihood Strategies, Urban and and the private sector so that AIT can serve as a Rural Sustainability, Water and Food Security, platform for innovative research and Energy Security and Low Carbon Society, development. Cleaner Production and Waste Refining. During the launch of this centre external partners and We take this opportunity to thank all faculties, AIT faculty and staff deliberated on some of the staff, students and indeed the vast variety of research needs in the near and middle term external partners who made our achievements future. This will be further elaborated further to possible. We look forward to increased include the emerging areas like climate science collaboration and partnership to expand the to determine local societies which are more knowledge base we have created and improve vulnerable while working on adaptation and the quality of life of those who those most need mitigation options which are urgently needed. it.

9.1 Introduction 9.2 Research Facilities and One of principal elements of STE Lab
Laboratories is a strong floor system. The strong Structural engineering has always been seen as one of the few fields of study where one can combine real technical skills with artistic flair. Structural engineers are known to be people who enjoy innovation, opportunities, responsibility and excitement, whilst working within a creative profession. Structural engineers plan and design various structures such as buildings, bridges, sport stadiums, towers, and underground structures.

This lab have tremendous impacts in the movement of people and goods. wireless systems to application and provides hands-on experience design Everyday, movement is hampered by protocol development. Its research and optimization in radio network, congestion, insufficiency of public subjects are in coherent optical fixed network and fiber optical transport facilities, traffic accidents, and communications; congestion control, network. other conditions. Moreover, as ATM, and B-ISDN networks; error correction and detection methods; Wireless Lab (WL) manufacturing expands globally, mobile and Internet traffic studies; businesses want to reduce transportation costs by limiting the multiple access strategies for cellular The main purpose of the Wireless number of distribution nodes. Concerns mobile, satellite systems, and cabled laboratory is for measurement and over congestion on highways, increasing networks; network performance analysis, performance analysis. It is equipped pollution and hazardous materials all planning and design; and speech with Modulation and Error rate emphasize the need to effectively processing. Its research specializations measurement meters, Simulation are in broadband networks; network software like SATSIM, which was maximize transportation systems. Thus, planning; Switching systems; developed by the students, is a the issue of transportation is obviously telecommunications management in simulation package to calculate the crucial, not only now but in the future. collaboration with the School of sub-satellite points of a LEO/ The Transportation Engineering field Management; telematics; and MEO/GEO and its orbital exposes students to the process of transmission systems. parameters.
