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.
