Australia, India looking to expand cooperation in advanced manufacturing
A top Australian expert and researcher in advanced manufacturing and material sciences, Professor Hodgson, will be in India from May 30 to June 17, 2016.
Professor Hodgson will deliver lectures on trends in advanced manufacturing and university-industry collaborations at institutions in Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore. These include the Indian Institute of Technology and the CSIR-National Physical Laboratory, the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences, and Anna University.
Australia’s High Commissioner to India, Harinder Sidhu, while welcoming Professor Peter Hodgson to India said, “The visit offers an opportunity for both Australia and India to work together in developing newer and innovative technology for manufacturing.”
She also said, "As the Indian government and industry implement Prime Minister Modi’s Make in India campaign, the need for a globally competitive manufacturing and research and development sector is greater than ever."
In Bangalore, Professor Hodgson will give a plenary address at the International Conference on Advanced Materials and Applications hosted by the Businayana Mukundadas Sreenivasaiah College of Engineering. The conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for young researchers, industry and academics to discuss innovation, trends, and challenges.
In addition, Professor Hodgson will hold discussions with key industry stakeholders to explore opportunities for university- industry partnership in the sector. He will also participate in the Global Initiative of Academic Networks (GIAN), a Government of India program to deliver lectures on Advanced Steels for the Automotive Industry and other sectors at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
Professor Hodgson has made important research contributions. He has over 600 research publications and has presented more than 40 keynote lectures at international conferences related to the physical metallurgy and modelling of steels.
The visit is taking place under the Australia India Education Council’s (AIEC) Eminent Researcher Lecture Program.
The AIEC is a bi-national body co-chaired by the Australian and Indian Education Ministers, for driving the Australia India education, training and research agenda.
