About Research and Development at UPES
UPES has a fine tradition of developing domain specific and in-

ing processes, for the last eight years, UPES has initiated Re-
search & Development (R&D) activities. The University aspires
to conduct R&D in diverse areas aiming to cover the full spec-
trum, from fundamental and theoretical studies, through re-
search of relevance to business and industry with practice-based
studies in Energy. We seek to support each research area with
crosscutting functions, including industry partnerships,
knowledge and technology transfer, analysis, and program inte-
gration. One of the rewarding aspects for R&D @ UPES is an
opportunity to undertake PhD. A PhD will bring you into con-
tact with our diverse pool of research expertise across a variety
of specialist areas, and you'll join one of the Indias leading Ener-
gy universities for performing innovative research and develop-
ing practical, applicable solutions.
