About Me

I am Assoc. Prof. Charnsak Srisawatsakul, Ph.D. (รศ. ดร.ชาญศักดิ์ ศรีสวัสดิ์สกุล), an information technology researcher, educator, and academic leader. I currently serve as Program Director for the MSc and Ph.D. programs in Digital and Information Technology at Stamford International University, Thailand.

Three-Time OeAD Ernst Mach Grant Recipient

I have received Austria’s competitive OeAD Ernst Mach Grant three times: one grant for doctoral research and two for postdoctoral research. These awards supported my research stays at the University of Vienna.

My academic foundation was built at the School of Information Technology, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), where I received the prestigious Petchra Pra Jom Klao Scholarship for both my master’s and doctoral studies.

Current Work

Alongside my role at Stamford International University, I am an invited guest lecturer at Assumption University for the Blockchain and Digital Currencies course.

My career spans both industry and academia. I began in software development, completed an internship at Intel Technology India, and wrote as a columnist for national computer magazines. I later served as an invited lecturer at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) and as Vice Dean for Research and Academic Affairs in the Faculty of Computer Science at a Thai public university.
