Their research on topic “Observation of Micro/Nanoscale Phenomena in Realtime Using an Optical Systems for Precision Engineering” conducted at the Advanced Precision Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Aran Blattler, Director of the Robotic Engineering and Automation System Program.
Recently, two student exchange programs took place at the KMUTNB-Kyutech Collaboration Satellite Office. On September 6, 2024, KMUTNB hosted the KMUTNB-KYUTECH Cultural Exchange Program for a group of 13 students. The Kyutech students were warmly welcomed by Assoc.
