Dr. Karel Sterckx, a Belgian national, received a Master of Applied Engineering in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from a college that is currently part of Catholic University Leuven (Belgium) in 1986. In 1997, he obtained a Master of Science in Optoelectronics and Communications Systems from Northumbria University (UK) and, in 2000, a PhD from Swansea University (UK) for work on infrared wireless communication links. He has experience as a practicing engineer in the Belgian audio-visual industry, and has been lecturing at colleges and universities in Thailand since 1993. He has been a resident of Thailand for over 30 years and joined Bangkok University in 2010 as Research Scholar. Since 2012, he is the director of the Bangkok University Center of Research in Optoelectronics, Communications and Computational Systems (BU-CROCCS). His research efforts concentrate on broadband indoor Optical Wireless Communication and Software Defined Communication Systems.
