ABOUT INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROORKEE

IIT Roorkee erstwhile Thomason Engineering College, the first engineering institution of India is now one of the leading educational institutes in the country imparting quality technical education and overall development of the society. IIT Roorkee (earlier known as the University of Roorkee) has celebrated 175 years (1847-2022) of its rich educational heritage. The Roorkee College was established in 1847 AD as the First Engineering College in the British Empire. The College was renamed as The Thomason College of Civil Engineering in 1854. It was given the status of University by Act No. IX of 1948 of the United Province (Uttar Pradesh) in recognition of its performance and its potential and keeping in view the needs of post-independent India. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, presented the Charter in November 1949 elevating the erstwhile college to the First Engineering University of Independent India. On the 21st of September 2001, the University was declared an institute of national importance, by the Government of India, changing its status from University of Roorkee to Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. Thus, another jewel was added to the already glittering crown in the History of this Institute.

ABOUT MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT

The Department of Mathematics from its inception in 1960 has grown into an active centre of quality teaching and research. Today it stands as one of the leading departments in the country, well known for its excellence in teaching and research. The Department runs five years BS-MS Program in Mathematics and Computing, two year M.Sc. and PhD programs in Mathematics. The faculty members of the Department are actively carrying high quality research in different areas of pure mathematics, applied and computational mathematics, operations research and statistics. The research activity in the department is well recognized by NBHM, DST, SERB, CSIR, ISRO, DRDO and many more agencies, and a number of research projects funded by national and international agencies are in progress in the department.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The workshop, titled "Innovative Numerical Methods for Modern Engineering Problems," aims to tackle the challenges posed by complex engineering tasks that require advanced numerical methods for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). The workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners, and students to explore cutting-edge techniques that can provide accurate solutions while minimizing computational effort. Key topics include the development of numerical methods for complex geometries, certified error control techniques to ensure solution accuracy, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in expediting simulations. By combining traditional numerical analysis with AI, the workshop seeks to critically assess the potential and limitations of AI-based simulations. Participants will gain insight into the strengths of various methods, including Virtual Element Methods (VEMs), discontinuous Galerkin (dG) methods, and Hybrid High-Order (HHO) methods. In addition to lectures and discussions, the workshop will emphasize practical approaches to these problems, encouraging attendees to refine their skills and contribute to the advancement of innovative digital technologies in the field of engineering.
