This is in line with the DIA CoE established by DRDO in premier academic institutions of the country, through which it aims to create an ecosystem to facilitate technology development in the academic environment through the efforts of various scientists as well as experienced faculty and talented scholars. doing. From DRD Laboratories.
According to an official release, the new center will lead focused research in initially identified research and development areas, including printing on flexible substrates to create devices and systems based on thin films for strategic applications; Advanced nanomaterials to provide fundamental contributions to materials selection and design; Development of accelerated material design to reach optimal solutions through high throughput experiments as well as reduce the number of actual test experiments; High Energy Materials focuses on modeling of high performance explosives and performance prediction of metallized explosives; And bio-engineering will develop technologies for applications ranging from detecting dangerous agents to healing wounds.
Sanjay Tandon, former director of the Institute of Technology Management in Mussoorie, serves as the Director of DIA CoE at IIT Kanpur, overseeing strategic initiatives and collaborative efforts. DRDO will fund the project and establish key technical facilities and modern infrastructure required to enable and promote R&D programs under the identified verticals.
The journey of setting up DIA CoE at IIT Kanpur began through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed during the Def-Expo-2022 in Gandhinagar in 2022.Director of IIT Kanpur, Prof. Manindra Aggarwal stressed the importance of collaborative effort and said, “With the changing times, the need for technological advancement in the defense sector is greater than ever to become a truly self-reliant India.” Word. For this, DRDO, academia and industry will have to work together. Establishment of Industry-Academy Centers of Excellence by DRDO is an appropriate step in this direction. With strong R&D expertise and state-of-the-art facilities in flexible electronics nanomaterials, materials science and engineering, high energy, bioengineering, IIT Kanpur is ready to contribute to this collaborative effort.I heartily congratulate the entire team and wish all the success for DIA CoE IIT Kanpur.”
