Punya Thitimajshima (1955 - 9 May 2006), a Thai professor in the department of telecommunications engineering at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology at Ladkrabang, is the co-inventor with Claude Berrou and Alain Glavieux of a groundbreaking coding scheme called turbo codes. The Thai (or Tai) are the main ethnic group of Thailand and are part of the larger Tai ethnolinguistic peoples found in Thailand and adjacent countries King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang ( KMITL for short is a leading research and educational institution located in the city of Bangkok, Thailand Claude Berrou (born September 23, 1951) is a French professor in Electrical engineering at École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications Alain Glavieux (died 2004 was a French professor in Electrical engineering at École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne. In Electrical engineering and Digital communications, turbo codes (originally in French Turbocodes) are a class of high-performance error correction
