Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Horkaew received his B.Eng. (1^st Hons.) in Telecommunication Engineering (1999) from King Mongkut's Institute of Technology, Ladkrabang. During his undergraduate study, he was working part-time on medical informatics research at the Computed Tomography Laboratory, NECTEC (1997-99). As an RA at the institute, he was involved in both software development, notably CalScore^R, and FPGA design projects. He had then continued his research, supported by the Ministry of Science, in medical image computing at the Visual Information Processing group, Imperial College London (2000-04). His Ph.D. thesis focused on an efficient and automatic method for constructing the optimal statistical deformable model for complex topological shapes with application to cardiovascular imaging. Based on the p-Harmonic analysis on manifolds and information theory, the resultant model is not only concise but also able to capture the intrinsic morphology of typical human hearts. As a part of his research, in collaboration with the Royal Brompton Hospital London, he also co-wrote a computer assisted diagnosis software for cardiovascular magnetic resonance images (CMRTools^R), currently being clinically validated by several international research centers. He is now a lecturer at the School of Computer Engineering, Suranaree University of Technology. His main research interests include Computational Anatomy, Digital Geometry Processing, Computer Vision and Graphics, and Evolution of Harmonic Maps on Riemannian Surfaces with Applications to Nonlinear PDE.
