The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore is set to establish the Shriram Group RT Chair in Computational Mechanics, thanks to a collaboration with the Shriram Group. This prestigious Chair will be awarded to exexceptional faculty members engaged in pioneering research in computational mechanics, with a focus on advancing various disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computational sciences.
The selected Chair holder, who will be an associate or full time professor, will concentrate on utilizing computational methods to tackle real-world problems. Research areas may encompass the development of numerical techniques, data-driven modeling of physical phenomena, and the investigation of new computing paradigms, such as quantum computing, as highlighted in the announcement.
This partnership is designed to benefit the academic community, promote practical applications, and inspire future researchers and professionals in the realm of computational mechanics. The endowment will ensure continuous support for the Chair holder's research initiatives, which may include workshops, lecture series, and academic exchanges. Additionally, it will facilitate collaborative efforts by inviting visiting scholars and experts to the Institute, as mentioned in the press release.
