Faculty of Engineering Welcomes Adam and Youssef, International Interns from UPPA, France
Faculty of Engineering Welcomes Dual International Interns from UPPA, France
Bangkok, Thailand — The Faculty of Engineering at King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB) is thrilled to announce the arrival of two international visiting scholars, Mr. Adam Oukkal and Mr. Youssef Maazouz, joining our vibrant academic community from France.
Both interns will be undertaking a comprehensive three-month exchange program with us from June 1, 2026, to August 30, 2026. They join us from the prestigious Ecole Nationale Supérieure en Génie des Technologies Industrielles (ENSGTI) at the University of Pau and the Adour Region (UPPA), France.
Driving Innovation in Energy Efficiency and Fluid Dynamics
During their time at KMUTNB, both Mr. Oukkal and Mr. Maazouz will be utilizing our state-of-the-art facilities to conduct specialized research under the expert supervision of Asst. Prof. Dr. Worrapol Koranuntachai, Department of Instrumentaton and Electrical Energy Engineering.
Each intern will spearhead a distinct, high-impact technical project aimed at advancing sustainability and engineering performance:
-
Mr. Youssef Maazouz: Building Thermal Performance (Campus Project) Focusing on energy efficiency right here on campus, Mr. Maazouz will conduct a comprehensive thermal performance assessment for the Administration Building and designated areas under the IEE Department. His scope of work includes heat-transfer analysis, HVAC and cooling-load estimation, envelope/insulation review, and simulation-based modeling to provide actionable recommendations for improving indoor comfort and energy efficiency.
-
Mr. Adam Oukkal: Micro Hydro Turbine – Performance Evaluation and Design Mr. Oukkal’s research will focus on the evaluation and optimization of a 10–15 W micro hydro turbine unit. His technical work will encompass preliminary design checks, efficiency and loss estimation, as well as hydraulic and mechanical performance analysis. Additionally, he will utilize Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze internal flow behavior and accurately predict turbine performance.
A Continued Commitment to Global Exchange
Hosting multiple scholars from ENSGTI highlights our faculty’s ongoing commitment to fostering international academic collaboration and cross-cultural knowledge sharing.
We encourage all faculty members, staff, and students to extend a warm welcome to both Adam and Youssef as they collaborate with our teams and experience the rich cultural and academic life here in Thailand.
Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering, Adam and Youssef!
