As part of an Inter-University Exchange Project, the “DX Manufacturing Workshops 2024”—organized by students from both NUT and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM)—was held on December 18 (Wednesday) at Miraie Nagaoka in a hybrid format comprising both on-site and online participation.
The chairpersons and presenters of this workshop, which is in its second year, included Prof. M. Kamaraj, Prof. G. Saravana Kumar, and Mr. F. Khan from IITM, as well as Assoc. Prof. Tomohiro Hayashi from the Institute of Science Tokyo. In addition to NUT students, a large number of academic staff and students from our partner universities in India and Vietnam also participated online.
Researchers gave presentations on “Design of Bioinert Surfaces by Informatics and Robotics”, “Design for Additive Manufacturing”, and “Cold Spraying Technology for Additive Manufacturing”. After the presentations, there was a poster session in which participating students presented their research to one another. This was followed by a group discussion on “DX for Industry” and “DX for 3D Bio-surface Design”, in which the participants engaged in lively Q&A and debates.
The event was held at Miraie Nagaoka, which provided an at-home space where participants could freely exchange their opinions and engage in meaningful dialogue.
NUT will continue to provide opportunities for research presentations and discussions through such workshops, and to promote initiatives under this Inter-University Exchange Project. In addition, NUT will work to further expand our joint research and student exchanges with India.
