Hello! I’m "Ampere" Mondheera Pituxcoosuvarn.
My name is spelled ピタクスワン・モンティーラー (アンペア) in Japanese and แอมแปร์ มนธีรา พิทักษ์คูสุวรรณ in Thai.
I was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand. Subsequently, I pursued my studies abroad in Japan, where I earned both my Master's and Doctoral degrees from the Graduate School of Informatics at Kyoto University. Currently, I hold the position of Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Information Science and Engineering. My research interests span various domains, including human-computer interaction, computer-supported collaborative work, collaborative learning, and the metaverse. Additionally, I am passionate about design thinking, design methods, STEM education, and play. One of my ongoing projects involves the development of an intelligent agent designed to facilitate intercultural and multilingual workshops.
