Dehradun, 21 Oct: An International Conference was organised at Graphic Era Deemed University on Computational Technologies, here, today. Joint Commissioner, GST, Nishikant Singh addressed the inaugural session of this two-day conference as the Chief Guest. He said that the use of technologies like machine learning, data analytics, 3D printing, smart and nano materials can help in predicting the efficiency of these materials and produce lighter, stronger and more efficient technologies. He highlighted on the need for training and awareness programmes for students.
Prateek Negi from National Chin-Yi University of Technology, Taiwan, addressed the conference online and said that phase change materials are emerging as pivotal innovation in the field of engineering. These materials have the capacity to absorb, store and release thermal energy during phase transitions. For their sustainable approach these materials are being used in thermal insulation, advanced cooling technologies and in energy- efficient building materials as well. Manager (IP& Technology Transfer) at All India Council for Technical Education, Madan Mohan Sharan Singh highlighted the importance of commercialisation of new technologies and said that researchers can ensure the protection of intellectual property rights through careful examination of laws and regulations related to licencing, non-disclosure agreement and other contracts.
Vice Chancellor Dr Narpinder Singh said that technological development and production should be in line with people’s needs. Students should come forward and contribute to solving issues of the technical field. As many as 100 research papers and 200 posters were presented at the conference.
The International Conference was organised by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. HoD Kapil Kumar, Organising Secretary Dr Brijesh Prasad, Dr Narender Garia, faculty members and students were present on the occasion.
