Golden Jubilee Academic Events

• Golden Jubilee Symposium on Fabrication At Small Scale (FASS) and Indo-US conference on Fabrionics: Science of Advanced Fabrication; (GJ 201) The conference will focus on fabrication, structures and properties on micro-nano scales: soft materials, self-assembly, self-organization and novel functionalities. The conference will help explore cutting-edge of micro/nano fabrication and functions, which is a highly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary area with equal interest across many departments such as Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science, Biosciences, Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The conference will be from 9th - 12th December, 2009.

• International Conference on turbulence. (GJ 202) (PI - Prof. Mahendra K. Verma) (Co-PI - Prof. K. Muralidhar and Co-PI - Prof. Krishna Kumar (IIT Kharagpur)) The focus will also be on Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, Convective Turbulence and Dynamo. In addition other topics like pipe flow, combustion and quantum chaos will also be discussed. Dynamo and MHD turbulence are very prominent areas of modern research. Also these areas have become important due to fusion initiative (ITER). The conference will be from 21st - 23rd December, 2009.

• Energy Conclave 2010 (GJ 203) Conclave Website

• Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation. (GJ 204) The conference intends to involve academia, industry and policymakers in bringing together theory and practice on the linkage between technology innovation and entrepreneurship. The focus of this conference will be on topics like impact of entrepreneurship on technology innovation, protection and management strategies/policies, role of entrepreneurship education in technical institutes etc. The conference will be from 16th to 18th January, 2010.

• Interaction, Instability, Transport and Kinetics: Glassiness and Jamming (GJ 205 B) On the one hand, interactions among the constituents of a macroscopic system and imposition of external driving forces can destabilize the existing order in the system. On the other hand, interactions in driven systems can also affect the transport properties causing slow (glassy) relaxation and jamming. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for exchange of ideas between theorists and experimentalists on the interplay of interaction, instability, transport and glassy kinetics in condensed matter. This conference will be held from 4th to 8th February, 2010. This is a SATELLITE Meeting of the ICTS Program on "Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics"

• ICTS Program on Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics (GJ205A) This program of the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) is a part of the Golden Jubilee celebrations of IIT Kanpur. Full details of this ICTS program are available here.

• International Workshop on Digital Preservation of Archaeological Heritage (GJ206) Digital Preservation of Archaeological Heritage

• International Conference of Environmental Health and Technology (EH&T 2010) (GJ 207) (PI - Prof. Mukesh Sharma and Prof. Viney Aneja) As a part of Golden Jubilee Celebrations of IIT Kanpur, CESE is organizing a focused conference with national and international experts engaged in public health research in the areas of medicine, engineering and biology. The Conference will bring together experts from diverse fields to generate an interface amongst medicine, environmental technology and biology and develop and share ideas for technologies and research development. The synergy among three groups will multiply the benefits for better human health. This will be accomplished via focused presentations and round table discussions. The final outcome of the conference will be a unique document that will usher the future research in the field of environmental health and technology.

• Molecules, Supramolecules and Surfaces. (GJ 208) (PI - Prof. Amalendu Chandra) (Co-PI - Prof. J. K. Bera, Prof. Sandeep Verma) The central theme of the conference will be molecules, their interactions and dynamics. A Nobel Laureate along with five distinguished and leading foreign researches and fifteen high-profile researchers from India will be invited for the conference. The conference will be for three days in October, 2010.

• Golden Jubilee Convocation (GJ 209) (PI - Mr. Sanjeev Kashalkar) IIT Kanpur held its 42nd annual convocation on 3rd July 2010 with the honorable Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh as the chief guest of the program. It is for the first time that a Prime Minister attended a convocation ceremony at IIT Kanpur. The institute honored him with a doctoral degree in Science. For details click here
