Additive Manufacturing: Fundamentals, Processes, and Applications
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at SRM University – AP organises a webinar titled “Additive Manufacturing: Fundamentals, Processes, and Applications” on Aug 19, 2021, at 5:30 pm. The lecture by Prof P. M. Pandey, Professor at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi aims to educate the audience on how additive manufacturing (AM) will transform manufacturing in the future.
Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has been recognized as an emerging technology for the direct fabrication of physical objects from the developed computer-aided design (CAD) models. AM techniques make real physical objects by adding materials in a layer-by-layer fashion rather than removing the material. The layered manufacturing abilities of AM technologies offer the building of parts with geometric and material complexities. Numerous AM techniques are simple and flexible that allow easy production of complex and customized objects. Through intensive research over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the development and commercialization of new and innovative AM processes. Further, numerous practical applications in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and other fields have been discovered.
About the speaker:
Prof Pulak M Pandey is currently serving as a Professor in IIT Delhi. Prof Pandey completed his PhD in Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing from IIT Kanpur in 2003. He diversified his research areas in the field of micro and nano finishing, micro-deposition and continued working in 3D Printing. He has supervised 39 PhDs and more than 36 MTech theses in the last 10 years and has filed 21 Indian patent applications. He has approximately 185 international journal papers and 45 international/national refereed conference papers to his credit. These papers with an h-index of 38 have received 6032 citations. He also received the Highly Commended Paper Award by Rapid Prototyping Journal for the paper “Fabrication of three-dimensional open porous regular structure of PA 2200 for enhanced strength of scaffold using selective laser sintering”. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Young Faculty Fellowship (IIT Delhi) sponsored by Kusuma Trust, Gibraltar, and J.M. Mahajan outstanding teacher award of IIT Delhi. His students have won GYTI (Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Award) in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2020.
All are invited to join this lecture on August 19, 2021, at 5:30 pm to gain an insightful overview of AM technologies- the processes, their characteristics, and applications.

Photography Society celebrates World Photography Day
World Photography Day is an annual global celebration of photography’s art, craft, science, and history. The Photography Society at SRM University-AP is organising a session titled The Scientific Art of Photography on August 19, 2021, at 7.00 pm to raise awareness, share ideas, and encourage people who work in the field of photography. Dr Manjunatha Thondamal, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences will be the chief guest of the event.
The Photography Society, a student-led initiative of SRM University-AP is one of the active and vibrant clubs wherein students are trained to see and create meaning in what they are able to perceive. Students critically appraise and appreciate the process and product of photography in social-cultural contexts. The scientific art of capturing fleeting moments will be elaborated on by Dr Manjunatha during the session.
All students are invited to join the event on August 19, 2021, at 7.00 pm and broaden the notion of what and how things can be seen.

Introduction to AI/ML with Python
The research scholars from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering with the support and guidance of the faculty are initiating a Research Scholar’s Talk Series titled My Scholar’s Voice (MSV). The first session in the series will be held on August 28, 2021. Ms Vineela Chandra D will engage the participants from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm with her enlightening talk on Introduction to AI/ML with Python.
The objective of the program is to project the expertise of the researcher from their domain to motivate the undergraduate/postgraduate students and fellow researchers. In addition, one can get familiarized with the research going on in different areas in the ECE department. This will surely develop an interest in research apart from academics. The programme will be beneficial for the presenter as well as the participants as it will help to build up a strong research network where they can continue collaborative research.
About the Speaker:
Ms Vineela Chandra D is pursuing her PhD under the guidance of Dr Karthikeyan E (Department of ECE, SRM University-AP). She had received her B.Tech degree in ECE from Amritha Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore (2015). She then joined Robert Bosch Engineering and Business solutions ltd, Coimbatore as an Associate Network Engineer (2015-2017). She received her MTech degree in Embedded systems from KL University (2017-2019). Her research interests include Machine learning, Signal processing, and Embedded systems.
All research enthusiasts are invited to join the first session of My Scholar’s Voice on August 28, 2021, at 11:00 am.
