About the conference
Energy and Materials are both inseparable and form the essential core of Science
and Engineering. As there could be no progress of mankind without either energy Organizing Committee (External Members):
or materials, both are recognized as "Major Thrust Areas" of today's R&D. Given
Dr. G. Venkatarathnam Dr. Mahmoud Bourouis
the technological revolutions on one side and challenges like the Climate change,
fast Depletion of natural resources, etc., on the other side, global attention is now Institute Chair Professor Professor
on addressing the challenges as early as possible through breakthrough innovations Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Dept. of Mechanical Engineering
and technologies. The solutions to the above challenges lie inherently with the two IIT Madras, Chennai-600036, TN, India. Universitat Rovira i Virgili

two areas. It is acknowledged that the digital revolution and mankind's big leap
towards AI/ML/IOT/IIOT are possible only with the advancements in Energy and Dept. of Mechanical Engineering
Materials technologies. It is high time that researchers working in the niche areas IIT Madras, Chennai-600036, TN, India.
of energy and materials get linked and share their R&D with each other and the
outside world.

Keeping this in mind, this conference is being organized by us with an Objective of

setting a platform for Researchers/ Scientists / Industries / Academia / Scholars /
Students across the globe to exchange ideas and share their current research &
findings for the benefit of the community and environment at large. As organizers,
we encourage you all to support the endeavour through your August participation
and Quality Research Papers. We have approached Reputed Journals (Elsevier,
Springer and a few Scopus Indexed) for possible publication of the full conference
papers. The Topical areas are mentioned and authors are encouraged to submit
their Research Papers as early as Possible.
