ภาควิชาวิศวกรรมคอมพิวเตอร์ขอแสดงความยินดีกับนิสิตที่คว้ารางวัลชนะเลิศอันดับ 1 ในงาน Spark Hack : Creating a Sustainable Future for All ในหัวข้อ นวัตกรรมการป้องกันประเทศ (Defense Innovations)
Department of Computer Engineering Congratulates Students on Winning "Spark Hack" The Department of Computer Engineering would like to extend our warmest congratulations to our students for winning 1st Place at the Spark Hack: Creating a Sustainable Future for All . The team triumphed in the Defense Innovations category. The competition took place from September 27, 2025, to January 17, 2026, at SCB Next Stage, 4th Floor, Siam Paragon. The event was organized by the New Business and Infrastructure Group of PTT Public Company Limited (The Petroleum Authority of Thailand). Award & Project Highlights Award: Winner (Grand Prize of 200,000 THB) Project Name: Catmium Catmium is an AI-driven innovation designed to detect high-emission vehicles by analyzing "Engine Sound Signatures." This system serves as a modern alternative to traditional black smoke checkpoints, which are often limited by time and geographical reach. Using a Microphone Array to capture audio, the AI processes and identifies vehicles likely to emit excessive exhaust. The system then captures the license plate, logs the coordinates, and sends data to a real-time dashboard 24/7. This allows government agencies to pinpoint, track, and tackle PM2.5 pollution at its source with high precision, reducing operational costs and sustainably improving urban quality of life. The Winning Team: "Maew Dam Pradit" The team is a cross-disciplinary collaboration of talented students: Mr. Panupong Sapanon (Faculty of Engineering, Computer Engineering and Digital Technology) Mr. Thanakrit Sangpankaew (Faculty of Engineering, Computer Engineering and Digital Technology) Mr. Piyakorn Sutheerottrrakul (Faculty of Engineering, Computer Engineering and Digital Technology) Mr. Jessada Pummee (Faculty of Economics) Ms. Ploykhwan Tharaphonsilp (Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy) 🎉 Once again, congratulations to all students for making the Department proud. We look forward to seeing your future successes and continued innovation! 🎉
Year 4 Computer Engineering Students Represent Thailand, Showcasing Innovation at Expo 2025 in Japan

The booth presented accessible health innovations and invited visitors to engage hands-on with the showcased technologies. Among them was Eyequila, a Digital Health & Wellness startup focused on developing eye care technology for the digital age. Their products include EyeQuest, a vision training game powered by Eye-Tracking technology designed to prevent Digital Eye Strain and myopia progression, and EyeQCheck, an AI-powered chatbot providing personalized eye health consultations. Eyequila was co-founded by students from the Chulalongkorn University School of Integrated Innovation (ScII) and the Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering. Representing the startup at this event were Ms. Jinjutha Sae-Ueng (CSII, BAScii 003) and Mr. Ratchanon Thanadsang (4th-year Computer Engineering student, CP49, Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering), under the academic supervision of Asst. Prof. Dr. Pittipol Kantawong, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Setha Panngan, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Krerk Piromsopa. The Chulalongkorn University booth attracted over 2,000 visitors, both Japanese and international, who participated in live demonstrations and engaged in discussions about the future development of eye health technology. This participation reflects Chulalongkorn University's commitment to elevating student innovations and Thai startups to the global stage, aligned with the theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives" — the official theme of Expo 2025 Osaka.
