Dear Colleagues,

Once again we cherish the new issue of the International Scientific Journal of Engineering and Technology (ISJET). At this time, the world is facing a great challenge posed by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Not only has it ravaged global health and the economy, but ignited instant leadership, contributions, and technological breakthrough. Thanks to the innovation in digital technologies, the economy could still operate under social distancing measures. The Republic of Korea has promptly developed the COVID-19 test kits with the help of AI. Singapore has launched an app called TraceTogether using Bluetooth signals between smartphones. While in Thailand, the research team led by Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) has developed the rapid test kit based on CRISPR technology.

Rome was not built in a day. The technologies the world uses to fight COVID-19 are achieved by uncountable research of science and technology across multidisciplinary approaches. That is, ultimately, the goal of ISJET. This journal will be dedicated to serving as a bridge for scholars to share their discoveries on advanced research in all fields of sciences: Engineering, Technology, and Innovation. On behalf of the Editorial Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has complimented our goal by contributing to the ISJET.

With kind regards,

Dr. Wirin Sonsrettee

Associate Editor of Science
