Energy & Environment
Clean energy works by producing power without having negative environmental impacts, such as the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. A lot of clean energy is also renewable, including wind power, some hydro resources and solar powered energy generation. Clean energy can be used for a variety of different applications, from electricity generation to heating water and more, depending on the source of the energy.
Energy Shift
There is tremendous economic opportunity for the countries that invent, manufacture and export clean energy technologies. Responsible development of all of rich energy resources, including solar, wind, water, geothermal, bioenergy & nuclear, will help ensure continued leadership in clean energy. Reducing carbon emissions, preventing further environmental harm, and creating jobs are just some of the opportunities provided by investing in green energy. And by buying green energy, you are helping bring that future closer.
Materials & Environment
How materials interact with the environment is critical for selecting the appropriate material or material system for the application concerned. The benefits can range from increasing component life to effectively utilizing the material or material system thereby translating to reduced component lifetime cost or increased component efficiency or helping reduced emissions. This discussion will address the key business drivers for materials interactions with the environment with industry examples. The discussion will include examples from coatings: processing and applications, corrosion, and materials lifing and materials for harsh environments including advanced sensors.
Nanotechnology for Energy, Healthcare and Industry
Nanotechnology has tremendous potential to transform the way we live, learn, work and play. The benefits can range from higher system properties and energy efficiency, to innovative healthcare solutions, to advanced industry products and solutions. The presentation will discuss the fundamentals of nanotechnology and highlighting their surface properties along with examples of industry applications. The applications-based research of nanotechnology including those enabling greater cost- and energy-efficient and environmentally friendly systems will be highlighted.
Targeted drug delivery
Targeted drug delivery is a type of drug delivery system in which the medication is transported or concentrated selectively at the site of action to localize the interaction of drug with diseased site and to avoid the harmful effects to healthy tissue due to drug interactions. The efficiency of this delivery depends on several factors, such as: drug bioavailability, drug absorption processes, pharmacokinetic processes, timing for optimal drug delivery. Pharmaceutical companies are pro-active with the changing requirements and are continuously investing in developing controlled release drug delivery system, thereby significantly driving the demand.
Cancer and Nanotechnology
Targeted drug delivery is emerging as a powerful tool for the treatment of cancer because of enhanced delivery of drugs, as well as genes, to a tumor site with protection from the extracellular environment. Nanotechnology offers multiple benefits in treating chronic human diseases by site-specific, and target-oriented delivery of precise medicines. There have been many recent advances in the field of nanomedicines and nano based drug delivery systems through comprehensive scrutiny of the discovery and application of nanomaterials in improving both the efficacy of novel and old drugs.
Additive Manufacturing is a Game Changer
Advances in additive manufacturing are revolutionizing the manufacturing industry at an exponential pace due to the increased potential of a larger design space to print fine features. In the last several decades, additive manufacturing capabilities, driven by industrial and consumer demand, have increased significantly leading to extreme technological advances. The additively manufactured components can accommodate high geometric complexity and thereby provide unique graded functionalities. A high level of freeform features is possible, both on internal and external surfaces within a complex 3D geometry. The different additive manufacturing methods along with specific industry applications will be discussed.
Additive Manufacturing changing the R&D Industry
The manufacturer’s ability to innovate and adapt to its customers’ requirements has never been important as it is today. To respond to these industry needs, many manufacturers find themselves investing in their research, design and test capabilities. Manufacturing therefore has to be flexible and with the advancements in additive manufacturing and other technologies, we observe a shift in the paradigm of the R&D industry. R&D in additive manufacturing will continue to increase, providing more and more technological breakthrough developments in terms of cost, multi-materials, reliable ultra-light-weight structures, process reliability, application-specific technology portfolio widening etc.
The Backbone of Modern Technology & Innovation
Technology and Innovation enhancements have tremendous potential to transform the way we live, learn, work and play. These enhancements significantly influence organizations by creating a new playing field, sharply disrupting markets, changing the relative importance of resources, challenging system capabilities, and reorganizing the basis of competition globally. Hence, it is essential to understand and predict how materials interact - specifically for selecting the appropriate material or material system for the targeted application concerned while maximizing the component beneficial features. The benefits can range from increasing component life to effectively utilizing the material or material system thereby translating to reduced component lifetime cost, increased component efficiency, ior helping with reduced emissions.
Technology & Innovation
It is very important to develop and deploy critical technologies but also ensure that they have a positive impact on businesses, product & services and customers. Includes studying the key strategic drivers of value creation and appropriation in the context of business ecosystems. The Technology & Innovation Management technology area includes technology tracking, technology ranking, technology transfer and innovation tools. Innovation and technology are key drivers of competitive advantage in today's knowledge economy. By utilizing innovation management tools, management can trigger and deploy the creative capabilities for continuous development.
Leveraging the Global Leadership Exposure
Growing-up in a small town in India with limited opportunities provided an opportunity to stay focused in order to build a better life for the family. These life adventures and experiences with people at different countries, universities and industries helped gain a broader diverse perspective to leadership. These unique experiences with a formal education in engineering and management have helped develop the leadership values that can be highlighted.
Leveraging Business Intelligence
The Business Analytics & Monitoring technology area includes intelligent system analysis, smart monitoring, predictive services and maintenance. It is vital to treat packets of data as a strategic asset and analyse data in real time to derive valuable insights that can be used for more informed business decisions. With data at the very center of any application and the sheer volumes of data generated, our expert solutions help develop tools to draw meaningful inferences for business purposes and foreseeing future patterns. Future trends in customer experience will depend on collecting quality data rather than massive data.
