Mangaluru, Sep 27: The eighth world conference on Applied Sciences, Engineering and Management, was inaugurated and commenced on September 26 at Shree Devi Institute of Technology, in association with Kyushu University of Japan and BRCORP Singapore. The conference will be held till September 28 at their Kenjar campus.
This conference has witnessed participants from Japan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Nepal as well as research scholars and scientific thinkers from various renowned institutions of India and the world.
The chief guest for the conference, Dr Kyuro Sasaki, professor, department of Earth Resources Engineering, Kyushu University, Japan, said, "We need to find solutions to complex problems that we face on renewable energy and limit the use of fossil fuel. We should focus more on reducing emission to avoid disturbed environments resulting in sudden rains at wrong times and floods that wash out the countryside unexpectedly."
Dr Shuichi Torii, Professor and Head of the department of Mechanical systems Engineering, Kumamoto University, Japan was guest of honour. He said, "Choices of alternate fuels and fuels that are sustainable are the need of the day." He spoke about green energy and alternate energy sources that are untapped and yet to be tapped for long term usage.
Guest of honour, Satya Illa of BRCORP spoke about the significance of research and also extended help and support to various research scholars and institutions that are looking forward to taking up research projects or setting up incubation centers in their institutions.
This conference highlighted the technological components of various research spheres; currently undertaken by top researchers in various laboratories, across the world. It brought in those unanswered questions to the forefront and discussed in a wide range.
Levelheaded conversations on research happened during the conference. A world conference of this scale brought in a great confluence of extraordinary minds to walk around as well as switch over to the new realms of investigative research to find an order to the unresolved; this conference was distinctive and one of its kind in the making of astonishing clarifications in the field of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Management by finding catalytic breakthrough answers to scale solutions, an attempt to unlock the hidden treasures for critical tribulations that we face all along.
Plenary talks began with 'Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Nanofluids' by Dr Kyuro Sasaki, followed by Dr Shuichi Torii on 'Thermal Production Using Biomass and its Transport Phenomena' thereafter, parallel technical sessions on Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Humanities, Social Sciences & Management commenced.
Nidhish S Shetty, vice chairman Shree Devi Education Trust presided over the function, Dr K E Prakash, director Shree Devi Institute of Technology welcomed the gathering and ignited a feeling of the importance of research. He also reiterated that students should further enhance their academic qualifications based on their areas of interest in research.
Dr Dilip Kumar K, principal in his vote of thanks said that challenges we face should triumph over the uncertainties of the scientific world, that scientists and engineers face on a daily basis, be it the Chandrayan mission of India or be it problems that need solutions. They should be taken up for higher research to find apt answers. He also explained what research scholars should take up research on complex challenges that are daunting and cumbersome for a better future. Dr Gayathri Babu J introduced the guest and Prof Sheryl Iona was the master of ceremony. Various heads and faculty members, research scholars and students of Engineering and Management were present at the conference.
