research Design And Development Of Bio-Inspired Unmanned Underwater Vehicle
inspired flexible propulsor has little control over the high fidelity fluid solid model. An integrated platform of a coupled fluid-solid model using our inhouse codes and OpenFOAM will be used. We would focus on Manta Ray as these are the unique creature to mimic and obtain efficient swimming and carrying a larger payload. Our focus will be on efficient locomotion which will exhibit higher speed and also energy efficient so that power requirement would be less.

Finding new ways to produce maleic anhydride
The research explores utilizing millireactor technology to produce maleic anhydride with sustainable techniques. The project also addresses the challenges of heat by employing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using ANSYS to optimize the geometry of a milli-packed bed reactor. This approach helps in enhancing heat transfer efficiency, minimizing temperature gradients, and avoiding localized hot spots to improve reaction selectivity and yield.
Focus of the project
• Making India self-reliant in the manufacture of maleic anhydride
• Reducing the risk of thermal runaway in exothermic reactions
• Reducing CO2 emissions in manufacturing maleic anhydride

Creating intelligent algorithms for a safe Internet
The project aims to protect social, computer, communication and financial networks by extracting EgoNets and their properties in the network graph using a statistical technique called chi-square statistics to analyze the behavioural and structural changes. The fusion method uses the statistics and the local structure of graphs in a unified manner such that the abnormal change in the properties of nodes and their EgoNets is identified through their scores.
Focus of the project
• Prevent hacking
• Protect social, computer, communication and financial networks
• Bridging accuracy and scalability to detect anomalies in critical networks

Leading the path in Food Waste to Fuel research
The project aims to convert waste into bioenergy and biomaterials using a fixed-bed reactor with a chemical agent at varying temperatures. The reactor uses a thermal input of 200 to 320°C for torrefaction, 300-500°C for pyrolysis, and 650-1000°C for gasification to react for varying time between 30 to 120 minutes. The experiments use a thermochemical process to degrade waste into hydrogen. Food waste can also be turned into biodiesel, and the remaining ash can be used as organic fertilizer.
