SUMMARY:Upping our A-game with NITTTR Chennai and SRM faculties
DESCRIPTION:The Faculty and Academic Affairs unit is hosting a Faculty Development Program (FDP)\, an initiative of the SRM University-AP Teaching Learning Centre (TLC)\, which was inaugurated on October 25\, 2021\, at 2:45 pm by Prof. V S Rao\, our esteemed Vice-Chancellor who graced the event as the Chief Guest and the revered Prof. Usha Natesan\, Director\, National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research (NITTTR) Chennai as the Guest of Honour in the occasion. \nThis FDP will be an opportunity to nurture the finest traits that our faculty members have to offer by inviting five faculty members from NITTTR Chennai. Dr G. Janardhanan (Course coordinator)\, Dr P. Malliga\, Dr S. Renukadevi\, Dr V. Shanmuganeethi\, and Dr E. S. M. Suresh from NITTTR Chennai; Dr Balgauruprasad Narayanan (Course Coordinator)\, and Dr Anupama Ghattu from Teaching Learning Centre (TLC) SRM University-AP\, and Dr Rajeev Sukumaran from the Centre for Applied Research (CARE)\, SRMIST will be the resource persons for this event. \nNITTTR Chennai is a Ministry of Education\, Government of India-funded institution. The SWAYAM-MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) courses offered by NITTTR have become very popular among the teachers’ community as easy-to-access resources. \nThe entire FDP will be conducted in four batches and over 170 faculty members of SRM University will participate in it to learn about the latest developments in pedagogical methods and their incorporation in the classroom setting. The events for the first batch will continue from October 25\, 2021\, till November 6\, 2021\, from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm every day coming up to a total of 10 sessions. \nThis Faculty Development Program jointly designed by NITTTR Chennai and SRM University-AP will give our educators the essential tools needed to make every classroom experience an unrivalled growing opportunity for the students. We urge our faculty members to make the most of this event from October 25\, 2021\, onwards.

SUMMARY:Flipping with the flow – Perspectives of puzzling fluid dynamics and human health
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics is organising the first episode of the Distinguished Lecture Series on September 15\, 2021\, Wednesday\, at 6.30 pm. Prof Suman Chakraborty from the Department of Mechanical Engineering\, IIT Kharagpur\, will deliver a lecture titled “Flipping with the Flow – Perspectives of Puzzling Fluid Dynamics and Human Health”. \nAbstract of the Lecture:\nOver the past century\, advancements in fluid dynamics hallmarked deeper studies on complex fluids\, though. Fluid dynamics of blood\, possibly the most critical complex fluid impacting human lives\, is primarily dictated by red blood cells (RBCs) that are flexible biconcave discs spending their lives suspended in blood plasma that is elusively more complex than simple water. Commonly\, RBCs stack together to form structures called rouleaux like cylindrical packs of coins that reform continuously. Contrary to intuition\, instead of clogging\, such reforms result in the easier flow of blood as it passes through extremely narrow channels. An influential theoretical premise of blood flow has been rationalizing this by drawing analogies of RBCs with compound liquid droplets in which the cytoplasm is more viscous than the outer fluid that triggers a series of complex shape transitions. However\, a stiffening of RBC membranes under certain conditions contradicts this analogy and may alter ATP release that happens due to shape deformation. This may signify specific diseased conditions and influence a plethora of ailments ranging from cardiovascular irregularities to cancer metastasis. The role of unique flexibility of microvasculature and morphology of the microenvironment\, dynamical signals of pressure pulsation and disease-specific blood rheology make it extremely deceptive and patient-specific and difficult to model within the known territories of expertise of fluid dynamics. \nProf Suman Chakraborty will discuss here various computational\, in-vitro and in-vivo studies conducted in his research group that have attempted to address some of the pertinent outstanding questions\, unresolved paradoxes\, and will present a deeper challenge that makes even ‘simple’ blood flow strikingly more complicated than its intuitive analogy of pipe flow in engineering fluid mechanics. He will also suggest a way forward with a convergence of physics-based modelling and data science\, where blood flow is not merely perceived as an ‘inert’ physical phenomenon but recognized as an exclusive hallmark of ‘life’ with all individualism intrinsic to humans. \nAbout the Speaker:\nProf Suman Chakraborty received the prestigious Santi Swaroop Bhatnagar Prize and became the youngest Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He has also been a Fellow at the Indian National Science Academy (INSA)\, Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS)\, and Indian National Academy of Science (NASI)\, in addition to being the recipient of the Indo-US Research Fellowship. He is also a recipient of the Scopus Young Scientist Award given by Elsevier for high citations in his research publications\, the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (2005)\, and the Young Scientist/Young Engineer Award from various National Academies. He has been bestowed with the Fellowship of the American Physical Society\, the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry\, and the Fellowship of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. \nJoin this educational session on September 15\, 2021\, at 6.30 pm to gain insights from the field expert.

SUMMARY:Algorithms as the game-changer in the digital era
DESCRIPTION:Industrie 4.0 has become increasingly global and cross-industry\, driving digital transformation across industries\, businesses\, and governments. SRM University-AP observes National Engineers’ day with an inspiring talk by Mr Dasari Ramakrishna\, Managing Director\, Efftronics Systems Pvt. Ltd.\, on September 15\, 2021\, at 06.45 pm. \nThe heartbeat of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is algorithms. While algorithms are not new\, the transition of businesses to be algorithmic is game-changing. Mathematicians describe an algorithm as an encapsulated set of rules that act on data to determine an outcome. In today’s digitalized world\, companies use algorithms on a daily basis to influence and support decisions (fact-based decision making). In system development\, algorithms building is the most challenging and major activity. Often engineers are expected to build completely new algorithms which are not available in the market (internet). One should adopt commonly available algorithms when required. But what is more important is to use various algorithmic concepts/principles together in combination to build a new algorithm. Like any development\, algorithms building also follows the cycle of defining\, analysing\, designing\, implementing\, and testing iteratively in a systematic way. If one had to build algorithmic thinking\, they need to practice with different scenarios\, reflect upon the results and experiment continuously. \nEvery year on September 15\, India commemorates Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya’s accomplishments by observing National Engineers Day. Visvesvaraya\, the Bharat Ratna awardee\, was born in the Karnataka village of Muddenahalli on September 15\, 1861. As a pioneer in engineering\, he made numerous contributions to the infrastructural backbone of the country. \nAbout the Speaker:\nMr Dasari Ramakrishna is the founding CEO of Efftronics Systems Pvt. Ltd.\, established in 1985. Backed by rich R&D\, Efftronics is now a leading provider of smart solutions for railway signalling\, smart cities\, smart buildings and industries. He is the architect of one of India’s largest IoT networks built for Indian railways with more than 6 million things connected across 9000 locations. He is a continuous learner & thought leader. Under his leadership\, Efftronics has innovated more than 50 solutions for different domains. By continually growing Efftronics\, Mr Ramakrishna has proved to the Indian industry that “With right aspirations and sincere effort to deliver value to customers\, it is possible to be successful and location doesn’t matter.” He is the former chairman of CII- A.P State Council. He serves as a member of the board of studies\, academic councils and governing body for several educational institutions and advisor for various universities. \nJoin this rekindling session on September 15\, 2021\, at 06.45 pm to understand the complexities of algorithm building.
