Details of Research Fields
A lot of computational approaches are being used by the researchers at the University to develop strategies to tackle pandemics using COVID as an example and using multi-pronged strategy like designing peptides, repurposing drugs, designing multifunctional epitopes etc. Another area of importance is antimicrobial resistance strategies. Design and development of therapeutics, computational modelling, Vaccine design, AI and Molecular Dynamics.
Brain computer interface using electrical activity in the brain to monitor behaviour, learning, and manage consciousness. Use of BCI to help compromised individuals and various assistive technologies to aid in special needs are in progress.
Tissue Engineering strategies for developing lab on chip models, and Using AI for developing novel biomaterials and regenerative medicines are some of the areas being pursued.
Nanomaterials for use in diagnostics, therapy, genetic manipulation and theragnostic adding to Personalized medicine
Quantum Algorithms for Nuclear Fusion and Quantum Machine Learning for Near Term Quantum Computers are some of the works going on in the domain of Quantum computations
In the process of environment care, DYPIU is engaged in projects related to reduction in carbon emission, vertical farming, waste management and clean energy generation schemes.
Smart health care practices involve better diagnostic approaches and prevention strategies involving biological, physical and electronic systems.
AI/ML is being used in various different areas to solve problems and achieve faster accurate outputs where it is humanly difficult. From driverless cars to how doctors identify and treat diseases, AI is poised to forge a future of endless new possibilities. At DYPIU, we are working on various AI problems including Foundational AI Research, Convolutional Neural Networks.
Nuclear fusion mimics the natural reactions occurring within the Sun, and has been a goal of scientists around the world since the 1950s. The process has been hailed as the “holy grail” of clean energy, as it is almost limitless, requires no fossil fuels, and leaves behind no hazardous waste. Nuclear fusion is considered the holy grail of energy production. However, in addition to this, utilization of plasma-based processes to manufacture artificial diamonds has been achieved. A group of experts of plasma physics are working in DYPIU for a variety of applications.
Virtual technologies to synthesize and create art forms and facilities.
The emphasis is on developing smart robotics to help in surgical operations on Human body.
The focus on energy is to create and utilize green and clean energy for the future and to conserve and reverse the environmental damages. Nuclear fusion is one such possibility. A Project supported by US investors called “Project Sanlayan '' was started at DYPIU as the first private project of this kind in the country.
Chronic health problems and solutions, as the name suggests, deal with nagging debilitating problems in metabolism and health. A microbiome lab has been established in DYPIU as part of Project Sushrusha. In parallel other relevant work is going on to help in this project.
Some of the key areas of research in Advanced Manufacturing include the development of Additive Manufacturing (3D printing) for applications in several areas such as Prototype development, Technology Development Materials in the fields of Engineering, Architecture, Design, Fine Arts.
- Human Resource Management
Research is proposed to be initiated in areas of, Digital Employee engagement, Talent management, Social Media recruitment processes.
- Fintech
Technology in Finance has brought a revolution in business operations. Fintech research is proposed in areas like Cyber Security, Regulatory Frameworks, studying the impact and potential of Blockchain on securities transactions, Fintech Platforms and strategies.
- Marketing
Digital Business is the way of new business accompanying and impacting everything in our lives today. Customers and Businesses both perceive the world through online lenses. This has paved the way for research in Digital consumer Behaviour, Using Artificial Intelligence to enhance digital marketing, impact of blockchain on Digital Advertising, applications of Marketing Analytics tools in deciphering consumer psychology etc.
Communication, Advertising, Public Relations, Journalism,
-
Gender: The scholars will do In-depth understanding of gender as a social construct, the different gender roles and their creation, representation of gender in different areas, theories and concepts of gender, third gender, feminism and the stages and waves.
-
Cinema and Society: Over the years, Cinema has achieved an academic status. The research will foster original thought and intellectual initiative. It will cultivate media-literate scholars capable of navigating a variety of mediums, geographic contexts, and historical eras, from early cinema to the digital era.
-
Theories and Concepts of Communication: Research in Communication will analyse emerging and enduring forms of public communication and the institutional and economic conditions that sustain them. They will employ a range of research methods, including ethnography, textual and historical analysis, and political economic approaches to media industries.
