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! 🎉
