Successes for fourth year Engineering student Pro

Ms. Varittha Sanphuang, a fourth-year electrical and electronic engineering (EE) student, won an IEEE MTT-S (Microwave Theory and Techniques Society) Undergraduate/Pre-Graduate Scholarship of US $1,500 to carry out her research during 2009-2010 at Asian University. The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is the world's leading professional association for the advancement of technology. Only six students around the world have received this IEEE scholarship this year. She will work on the following research topics, “Analysis and Design of Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) Metamaterials and Negative-Refractive-Index Transmission-Line (NRI-TL) Metamaterials Using Equivalent Transmission-Line Models with New Graphical Tools.”

In addition, she also won an IEEE AP-S (Antennas and Propagation Society) Pre-Doctoral Research Award of US $1,000 during 2009-2010. For this research award, she will work on a similar research topic as above. Her research projects will be carried out under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Danai Torrungrueng, a senior IEEE member, at Asian University. These scholarships will be used to support her in attending international EE conferences. She expects to publish journal and conference papers based on her research work. Let’s congratulate Ms. Varittha for her excellent academic achievement.
