【Comments from Prof.Suzuki】
It is a great honor to receive an honorary doctorate from the University in Thailand. It was for the second time, following the honorary doctorate from Mahidol University in 2022.

I am delighted to receive this honorary doctorate because of the many collaborative researches and achievements I have made with Thai universities and national research institutes since I first lectured in Thailand in 2000.
