PREFACE

The Asian Institute of Technology is pleased to collaborations and linkages. It’s my firm belief that release the Report on Annual Research 2015 we have been able to give our best despite the which provides a consolidated overview of the challenges and AIT moves ahead towards research activities conducted across the institute consolidating its research efforts building on its rich during the year. This year saw a renewed focus experiences and garnered knowledge put to the on the research and development agenda under benefit of its students. AIT’s research has always the AIT’s thematic areas of strength and maintained an integrated approach which combines witnessed the successful implementation of research, teaching and learning, and outreach. many sponsored and contracted projects. The quality of our research has over the years grown AIT is adapting itself in the form of imaginative steadily in the respective thematic areas of interactions and partnership with both the public and research namely: Environment, Water, Energy, private sectors. Ever changing scenarios oblige AIT to Industry, Food, Development, Infrastructure, and seek new forms of operations and new sources of Information and communication Technologies support (ICT).This would not have been possible without the whole-hearted commitment of our faculty As a trendsetter of quality education in Asia through and staff. its innovative academic offerings and research undertakings, AIT successfully continues to fulfill its Overall, during the period January to December mission. In conclusion, I would thank all AIT faculty, 2015, a total of 464 sponsored and contracted staff, and students for their whole hearted efforts projects including capacity building activities with and contributions towards achieving the research a total budgeted value of 1.6 billion THB were objectives and goals. conducted by the faculty and staff from within the Fields of Study (FoS) of the three schools; School of Engineering and Technology (SET), School of Environment, Resources and Development (SERD), and School of Management (SOM), as well as at AIT Extension, Internet Education and Research Laboratory (IntERLab) and Institute-wide projects.

The total number of publications for the same period stood at 475 from across AIT. As in the previous year the research report is outlined based on these eight themes which are grouped by their relevant fields of studies. AIT continues to move forward with its continued commitment towards focusing its research output in line with Professor Kanchana Kanchanasut the thematic areas towards meeting the needs of Vice President for Research the region and beyond. The research activities have successfully moved ahead in line with donor needs and the institute’s strategic priorities towards playing the leading role in the region’s sustainable development.

AIT continues to enhance its engagement with research institutions and donor agencies that have evolved to foster new research

Mechatronics Mechatronics provides new suitable for this electronics insights through an integrated industrial sector in the region. At present, most academic consideration of mechanics, The curriculum has been institutions and industries in electronics and information designed and constantly the Asian region are only technology. The curriculum is adapted in partnership with system integrators. designed to provide microelectronics industries and Components are procured multidisciplinary knowledge collaborating universities from more developed and to develop the ability to overseas. Miniaturisation of IC countries (e.g. computer design mechatronics systems. and the possibilities of numerically controlled completely new technologies machines, robots, and Microelectronics and like nanotechnology have also automated guided vehicles) Embedded Systems been introduced. and are integrated as a system The region’s growing industrial (e.g. flexible manufacturing 3.6.2 Research Facilities sector and the increasing system). To support the demand for high technologies and Laboratories growth of the region’s have brought the need for economy, expertise not only as Mechatronics and expertise in microelectronics to system integrators but also as Microelectronics and a critical level. The students builders of components of Embedded Systems fields of are prepared to cope with the advanced technologies must be study share all the laboratory needs of the electronics developed.
