The institute has created the following specialized centres as part of its select focus on sustainable innovation enablement and technology-based opportunity creation initiatives having the potential to enable early as well as long-term benefits to the campus, society and the nation. These centres are envisioned to become an innovation, research, technology development, skill-development, consulting and outreach hub, as applicable, around which not only the LNMIIT but also many other institutions in the vicinity (or even beyond) might get enabled over the years. Each of the Research and Development centres have been provided a plan-linked seed grant for their research related activities and for a start-up initial research. Under this scheme, subject to receipt of eligible proposals reviewed by experts, a funding ranging from Rs. 2 lakhs is made available by the institute.
Name of the Centre | Description/ Objectives | Centre Leads |
Centre for Next Generation Communication Networks (C-NGCN) | The C-NGCN focuses on:
|
(Lead) Prof. Ranjan Gangopadhyay (Co-Lead) Dr. Nikhil Sharma |
Centre for Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics (CML-BDA) |
|
(Lead) Dr. Subrat Kumar Dash (Co-Lead) Dr. Sakthi Balan Muthiah |
The Centre for Energy and Environmental Studies (CEES) |
The CEES shall primarily work towards identification of key energy-specific (monitoring, transformation and management and environmental engineering and technology-specific societal and business needs that required technology-based solutions that the campus, society state and the nation may have. It would, in a prioritized and phase-wise manner, pick up and work on creation of innovative and cost-effective technology-based scalable solutions, IP creation and, where feasible and relevant, technology transfer, apart from research-driven outreach. |
(Lead) Dr. Kamal Kishore Khatri |
Centre for Cryptography, Cyber Security and Digital Forensics (C3-SDF) |
|
(Lead) Dr. Jayaprakash Kar (Co-lead) Dr. Shweta Bhandari |
LNMIIT Centre for Smart Technology (L-CST) |
|
(Lead) Dr. Abhishek Sharma |
Centre for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (LCRAI) | The L-CRAI aims to:
|
(Lead) Dr. Mohit Makkar |
Centre for Educational Technology & Teaching-Learning Innovation (CET-TLI) |
|
(Lead) Prof. Raghuvir Tomar (Co-Lead) Dr. Sandeep Saini (Member) Dr. Usha Kanoongo |
Centre for Material Science and Nano Electronics (C-MSNE) |
|
(Lead) Prof. Ganesh Datt Sharma (Co-Lead) Prof. Somnath Biswas |
The Centre for Mathematical & Financial Computing (C-MFC) |
The C-MFC shall primarily work towards identification of key needs that merits its research attention. The Centre would carry out industry-relevant and other forms of applied as well as basic research involving various forms and sub-areas of mathematical computing, modelling and simulation as well as various areas and sub-areas of financial computing, economic and financial modeling and simulation as well as multidisciplinary work requiring relevant intervention of mathematics, economics or finance with other domains like information science, biology, astronomy, public policy, epidemiology, drug design and behavioural modeling and simulation etc. The development of techniques and technology of relevance, application of resultant research towards solving problems of interest, transfer of developed technology to industry/government/social service organizations and any required outreach would be in the scope of work of the Centre. The C-MFC would be encouraged to become a multi-disciplinary innovation hub around which not only the LNMIIT but also many other Institutions and industries in the vicinity (and even beyond) could get enabled over the years. The C-MFC would have the mandate of evolving into a Centre of Excellence in terms of research, innovation, development and new venture creation in the areas mentioned above. |
