IRD Schemes for Student Research - 2020

R&D Unit, IIT Delhi has been supporting student research activities through specially designed research schemes to encourage the young students towards solving problems through scientific and technological research. The involvement in such pursuits at early/ undergraduate level provides many advantages to the students viz.: establishing ties to faculty, acquiring data-gathering and laboratory techniques, exploring the frontiers of a field, understanding the problems, undertaking topics not encompassed in the classroom, and establishing a focus for higher academics.

Recently following eight project proposals of IRD Students Scheme of Call-2020 have been supported:

I. Discover and Learn (1-2-3-4) projects

1. On-line, wide-range, low-cost sensor for biomass concentration
2. Control and data acquisition for cold atom quantum technology
3. Managing safety at construction sites using digital technology
4. Developing an application for semantic tagging of video sequences for stochastic modelling of reactive systems
5. Digitalisation in Healthcare

II. IRD Student Startup Action projects

1. Block chain implementation of HER
2. Spirited AI
3. An energy-efficient permanent magnets and switched reluctance motors for two-wheelers EV
This will feed good learning outcomes in the projects by young minds.
