C. Bunluechokchai received the B.Sc.
degree (Honour) in Radiological Technology
and the M.Sc. degree in Biomedical
Instrumentation from Mahidol University,
Thailand, in 1985 and 1989, respectively.
He received the D.Phil. degree
in Biomedical Engineering form the
University of Sussex, United Kingdom in
2003. He is currently an assistant professor
in the Department of Industrial
Physics and Medical Instrumentation at
the King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok
(KMUTNB). His research interests are in the areas of biomedical
signal processing and biomedical instrumentation.
