Composition and Long Exposure

Published:

This was the very first project in Photography 1 at Bowdoin College. I took this class in my junior undergrad, and all I learned were techniques in film photography. We learned how to shoot, take a roll of film out of the camera, develop the film, and transfer photos onto the photography papers. This first assignment was to explore the basic knowledge in photography, namely, composition and long exposure.

Little Red Riding Hood

Published:

This was the second project of Photography 1, and the theme was pretty strange. Our professor showed us a bunch of photos that seemed surreal and told us to create something along that line. I then decided to recreate the famous European fairy tale ‘Little Red Riding Hood.’ I’m very thankful for my friend Emma who was willing to be the model for this project. The main techniques I exploited in this project were double exposure and shadows. Warning! My story telling is going to be different from the original one…

Missed Calls

Published:

“Missed calls” was the final project for my Photography 1. The semester was actually one of the hardest ones during my time at Bowdoin since I was taking 5 classes and two of them were project-based. (YES, this class was one of them.) Anyway, for this one, we were assigned to create something we cannot see. Hence, I decided to create the images of mobile’s ringtones. The actual project had the selected ringtones attached to each picture, but here I just want to present the photos and the techniques I incorporated.

My Paintings Collection

Published:

In my free time, I love to paint with different techniques, but one of the techniques that I like the most is oil painting. I have never officailly taken any drawing or painting before, so they do not look that great. However, since I am quite proud of my work, I’d like to share them with you all. I do believe that anyone can draw and paint, and every single picture painted with a good heart is always beautiful. Some of these paintings are copy cats of the famous pieces, so I’ll let you figure out whose masterpieces I tried to imitate.

MEOW’s stories

Published:

When I got back home in summer 2021 after graduated from Bowdoin, I needed to quarantine myself in a hotel room for 14 days. My friend Um-im suggested me draw a short comic, so I came up with this comic which is all about my cat, Meow.I used the free trial of a comic drawing application on my ipad, so when the period ended, I didn’t continue drawing or anything. Plus, I had quite a lot to do outside of a hotel room. Anyway, drawing cats was a really fun experience!

Study of Overlapped Triangles with the Maximal Overlapped Area under Translation and Rotation

Published:

In 2015, Poom Lertpinyowong, Krittamed Lengrugsa, and I contucted the math project together. The project has been presented in Thaiand’s YSC (Young Scientist Competition) 2015 and the Kolmokorov readings in 2016. The advisors of this work were Professors Sittichoke Som-am from Mahidol Wittayanusorn School and Wacharin Wichiramala from Chulalongkorn University. permalink: /talks/2015-04-01-talk-6

An Alternative Approach to Computing β(2k+1)

Published:

This was the first talk of the time I was at Bowdoin. The project was done during my sophomore summer under the supervision of Professor Naomi Tanabe. The poster presentation itself happened in October of my Junior year. However, at that time, we had not found the integral representation of the Dirichlet \(\beta\)-function evaluated at even integers. The work was finally completed and submitted in May 2021 and currently under review.

Walking to Infinity Along Some Number Theory sequences

Published:

This work was presented at the PaJAMAS (The PAlmetto Joint Arithmetic, Modularity, and Analysis Serie) conference 2020 by Tudor Popescu, Saam Rasool, and me, but it is a joint work with Prefessor Steven J. Miller, Joshua M. Siktar, and PolymathREU Prime Walk group.

Modeling Random Walks to Infinity on Primes in Z[√2]

Published:

This work was a spin-off from the paper Walking to Infinity Along Some Number Theory sequences. However, instead of observing sequences of integers which is one-dimensional, we consider primes in the real quadratic integer rings in \(\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{2}]\), which are of the form \(a+b\sqrt{2}\). This study was inspired by the Gaussian Moat problem posed by Basil Gordon in 1962, and the work has been presented in a couple of conferences by my collegue, Bencheng Li and Daniel Sarnecki.

On the Dirichlet L-functions and the L-functions of Cusp Forms

Published:

Upon my graduation from Bowdoin College in Maine, I have presented my honors thesis to the mathematics department. The topic is mainly about two families of \(L\)-functions, namely, the Dirichlet \(L\)-functions and the \(L\)-functions of cups forms. The first family is where the Riemann zeta function, our favourite \(L\)-function, belong to. The second one is a little more special as we have to acquire some knowledge about modular forms in order to understand this kind of \(L\)-functions.

Teaching volunteer in Chiangrai (Kru-Ar-Sah)

Teaching program, Baan Huai Hin Laad Nai, Chiang Rai, Thailand, 2017

My friends and I have thought a lot about how Thai education is greatly impacted by unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and living standards across different regions. While most of us live in the capital of our provinces, there are a lot of students who live in rural and almost inaccessible areas. We then decided to volunteer as teachers during the summer of 2017. The organization whom we partnered with was Kru-Ar-Sah, which has been known to help thousands and thousands of students over decades.

2018 Summer Camp for Thai Scholars

Summer camp, Brewster Academy, NH, USA, 2018

When I first arrived in the US, all my Thai scholar friends and I had to go to a summer program in New Hampshire at Brewster Academy. There, we got to learn several English skills and survival skills, including communication, essay writing, public speaking, SAT, and also American history. The camp was meant to help us adjust to the American culture and prepare us for life in prep school. We could not be more grateful about the program. Then, for two years after in summer 2018, I went back to the program to be a TA for another Thai scholar generation, TS 61 (Thai Scholars Buddist year 2561). Quick links to Jeopardy night I hosted, and A list of helpful resources to improve your English.

2019 & 2020 Winter Program for Thai Scholars

Winter Program, SIT graduate, VT, USA, 2019

During my senior year at Holderness School, I attended a winter program for Thai scholars. With my friends, we worked on our personal statements and several other essays for college applications. Then, in 2019, I came back as a teaching assistant, helping new Thai scholars navigate the American college application process. Here are some quick links to the presentations about how to list honors/awards and activities in the Commonapp.

July 2022 Invited Speaker at Benchama Maharat School

Summer teaching, Benchama Maharat School, Ubon Ratchatani, Thailand, 2022

I’m very honored to be invited as a lecturer to help prepare high school students at Benchama Maharat School for the POSN 1 camp this year. For those who don’t know, POSN 1 is the very first regional round which leads towards the International Mathematical Olympiad. Please visit this page to find the lecture notes and solutions I used in my teaching (Note– Every lecture note is in Thai).
