Talk Title: Bioinspired Design for Next-Generation Composites

Abstract: Plants are sessile organisms lacking physical motion and neurological control. Hence a stronger correlation between their structure and mechanical demands is anticipated. Specifically, the thick-walled water conductive xylem lacks the living parenchyma. However, it addresses varying functional needs from efficient thermal and fluid conduction to structural support through rapid structural and compositional modifications independent of the biological process of cell division. The above formed the primary hypothesis for a new research direction of my lab on plant biomechanics where we investigated microstructural and composition changes in plant stem during rapid growth using a combination of material characterization techniques. In this talk, I will provide some outcomes of Plant Biomechanics research and discuss its implications in the design of next-generation composites. I will also give an overview of my lab's key research directions, including discussing bioinspired design for 2D Materials like MXenes of relevance for sensor design.

This workshop will help students, Ph.D. and professionals learn and know about the current technological advancements and current industry standards in sensors and building an entrepreneurial environment in sensors applications. This hybrid mode workshop will contain plenary talks, women in sensors expert talks, meeting with start-ups/entrepreneurs and hands-on experience with Make Your Own Sensors Applications (MYOSA) kits. Our speakers and panellists are from across the globe.

Date: 3-4 Dec 2021
Venue: Hybrid Mode- IIT Jodhpur and ONLINE mode

Talk Title: Digital Health and AI: Learnings from three Deep-tech Start-ups

Abstract: The digital health and diagnostics space is undergoing a radical transformation especially post COVID. The conventional in-person, doctor consultations are rapidly being assisted/substituted by remote tele/video consultations and Direct to consumer care. In this context, point-of-care diagnostic solutions integrated with AI will transform the healthcare industry and will help in providing affordable health care to all. In this talk, I will first briefly discuss the general trends in digital health and AI and where future opportunities lie in terms of innovations. I will discuss our research efforts for the past 5+ years in the digital health space towards realizing devices for non-invasive BP, fatigue, and multi-parameter monitoring. Subsequently, I will share my technical and entrepreneurial journey and learnings as a part of three deep tech biomedical start-ups as CEO, CTO, and chief mentor role.

Talk Abstract

Title: Fast-Tracking 5G User Equipment System through Simulation Using Ansys

Overcome the conventional, tedious and inaccurate design process that is dependent on experience-driven knowledge to a greater extent using a better design tool with better post-processing output quantities to Quantify the performance before building the physical samples. In the next generation 5G applications, the structure constituents and unit cost requirements are steering the reduction of post-manufacturing tuning and QoS-optimization, testing the power budget, Interference, Noise and EMC Compliance using physical prototypes would be much more expensive and time-consuming. Simulation helps to stay on budget and on a tight design schedule. These new challenges uncover the peril of conventional design methods: Simulation outputs of erroneous design will produce notable production peril, thus increasing the R&D cost and product growth timeline.

ANSYS Solution helps to accelerate the simulation accuracy and minimize the erroneous design decreasing R & D cost, and reduction in the production timeline.

We are pleased to congratulate the following recipients of the 2021 IEEE Sensors Council Awards. The Council is especially proud to honor their outstanding accomplishments and look forward to their continued involvement with the Council. These awards will be given during our flagship conference, IEEE SENSORS 2021 in late October.
