Bangkok is grappling with a severe air pollution crisis, forcing authorities to implement work-from-home (WFH) measures on January 20-21, 2025. This drastic step comes as PM2.5 levels are projected to soar beyond safe limits, posing a significant threat to public health. PM2.5, tiny airborne particles, are a major concern. These invisible pollutants can penetrate deep into our lungs and even enter the bloodstream, causing a range of health problems from asthma and lung inflammation to serious conditions like heart disease…

Prof. Kanchana Kanchanasut was invited to share her experiences in AINTEC conference and Virtual SIGCOMM-SEA pods in South East Asia initiations at SIGCOMM conference in Sydney on August 6, 2024 as part of SIGCOMM Inclusion and Diversity program. Supported by ACM SIGCOMM, ISOC and THNICF, AINTEC Travel grantees have a great opportunity to attend SIGCOMM 2024 at Sydney.

intERLab spearheaded a remarkable project which focused on the development of an IoT platform (SEA-Hazemon) designed to monitor forest fires and air pollution, employing cutting-edge LoRa technology. The project was funded by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) and this project was showcased at NBTC’s Broadcasting and Telecommunications Research and Development Fund for Public Interest (BTFP) event on November 16, 2023, at PEARL Bangkok, and received an overwhelming response from attendees, including students, researchers and the general public who…

Airparif, the independent regional air quality observatory for the greater Paris region, had announced the expansion of its renowned AIRLAB Microsensors Challenge to Bangkok, Thailand, for the year 2023. AIT’s involvement in the challenge was marked by the dedicated efforts of two distinguished teams: the intERLab team, led by Dr. Adisorn Lertsinsrubtavee, and a team of accomplished researchers from the School of Environmental, Resources, and Development (SERD), led by Prof. Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh, who independently evaluated the performance of…

intERLab’s Professor Kanchana Kanchanasut has been awarded the ACM Recognition of Service Award in appreciation for her contributions to leadership in building and developing the SIGCOMM community in the South East Asia.

In a joint effort between the University of Washington and the esteemed intERLab research facility, a groundbreaking project is underway to monitor air quality in specific regions of Bangkok and Chiang Mai. By leveraging cutting-edge sensor devices, mounted on Grab delivery riders’ helmets, researchers aim to collect real-time data on PM 2.5 and CO2 levels. This data will provide valuable insights into the air quality experienced by riders as they navigate different areas of the city. The sensors used in…

The Nepal Research and Education Network (NREN) hosted the 55th Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Advanced Network (APAN55) from March 13-17, 2023 at the Kathmandu Marriott Hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal. APAN55 invited a wide range of participants, including researchers, scientists, policymakers, network professionals, telehealth practitioners, and other experts from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to participate in workshops, tutorials, presentations, and lightning talks concerning innovative network technologies and applications. As such, intERLab also held a SEA-HAZEMON@TEIN-II Workshop on Information Centric Networking on Internet of Things (ICN-IoTs) at the APAN55….
