Hello! I’m "Ampere" Mondheera Pituxcoosuvarn.
I received my Master's and Doctoral degree from the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University(Kyoto, JAPAN). I am now an assistant professor of the Faculty of Information Science and Engineering. I am interested in the areas of human-computer interaction, computer-supported collaborative work, and collaborative learning. In addition, my interest also includes design thinking, design method, STEM education and play. My current project focuses on creating an intelligent agent to facilitate intercultural and multilingual workshops.
