Transcending Research Boundaries

Peter Haddawy’s work incorporates both computer science and medicine, and connects Germany with Thailand

“Science is always about new ideas, and it’s interesting how much these can vary depending on cultural context,” says Peter Haddawy. The computer scientist knows these differences first hand. After spending ten years at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the USA, he moved to Thailand. He began his work there as Vice President for Academic Affairs at the Asian Institute of Technology, and has been a professor at Mahidol University since 2014. He currently also researches and teaches at the University of Bremen as an honorary professor. A significant part of his work serves to strengthen connections: between the two universities, between different scientific disciplines, and between researchers and students.

Research

Mosquito recognition and vector counts

There are many mosquito vector-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue, or Zika. It is essential to be able to control the mosquito populations, which requires reliable recognition of individual species in the wild. We are performing various research activities in this field, see the following publications.

Digital health applications

We are developing various tools to support the tracking and reporting of infectious diseases. Furthermore, we work together wiht hospitals to support them with digitalization of their services and processes, including disease diagnosis.

Medical training support

We are developing tools to support the training of doctors, inclduing surgeons and dentists. Methods include mainly state of the art visualization and virtual reality.
