Outline
In our research group, we aimed to develop technology in (1) Smart Vision & Sensing, (2) Smart Mechanism & Design, and (3) Smart Control & Manipulation to promote research and education for an Industrial Revolution. The joint workshop 2021 is the follow up and discussion session on futuristic research activities. During the first joint workshop (2019) with CEERI, CMERI, NAL, and NEERI, they have proposed collaborative research on ‘Drone with manipulator’ to solve environmental sampling issues in India inspired from existing technologies in our laboratory. In the upcoming workshop, we will discuss on smart sensing and robotics technologies required for the proposed research as well as new emerging research possibilities in the microfluidics, and lab on chip.

Outline
Reduction of CO2 emission and find out the alternative solutions for the energy demands are now considered as the global issues. Researchers put the efforts in different research fields to fulfill the present energy demands including electrochemical energy storage and supercapacitor applications, hydrogen energy, ammonia storage etc. The search for different high-performance materials is important for the applications. Current technology welcomes the various nanostructures, heterostructures, alloys for different energy applications. Prof. Takayuki Ichikawa has expertise in the field of hydrogen storage, chemical compressor and thermochemical generation, all solid-state Li ion batteries, ammonia applications. His group majorly contributes the implementation of metal hydrides in various hydrogen and electrochemical applications. Dr. Bipin Kumar Gupta devoted his time andefforts in of material synthesis, and they have fabricated many dimensionalities dependent system such as 2D materials for hydrogen storage to make air stable metal hydride as well as applications in many other energy storage applications such as battery, supercapacitor and ammonia detection, storage and production.

Background
When HU and CSIR signed the MoU in October, 2018, the representative applicant was visiting CSIR-NML in Jamshedpur in order to seek the possibilities on any collaborations with HU. He obtained an opportunity for presenting his recent research works there. In addition to the presentation, the brief introduction on HU was made. At that time, he also joined all the events prepared and actively discussed and exchanged the information for the collaborations with several researchers including the head of CSIR-NML. Since his visit, the two and half years are past in the pandemic. However, to express the possible collaborations into the actual form, several discussions with the researchers in NML has been made. As the result, collaborated online workshop is proposed, and they agreed with his proposition.
Outline
The planed session provides two researchers from HU and CSIR-NML to discuss anything about the following contents about the structural materials with high functions.
  1. Understand the interest and capabilities of the organizations in:
    1. New materials development for high functional structure including alloy design, material characterization, mechanical property evaluation, etc.
    2. Mathematical modelling including high strain rate material processes, formulating a joint action plan
    3. Sheet metal formability and mathematical modelling
  2. Identification of specific research areas of mutual interests
  3. Explore the possibility of a formal collaborative platform

Outline
One of the objectives of synthetic organic chemistry is contribution to biomedical and health sciences through the identification of novel synthetic scaffolds having therapeutic importance. CSIR CDRI and HU_SOC aims to contribute mainly from 3 research areas related to synthetic organic chemistry, i.e., medicinal chemistry, new reaction development, and synthesis of bioactive natural products. In this session, we will discuss recent progress in each research area from CSIR and HU. For the first part, the synthesis of natural product inspired molecules that showed tumor growth inhibition by inducing autophagy, and structural optimization of ligands for the development of therapeutic and diagnostic medicines will be discussed. In the second part, we focus development of effective method for the trifluoromethylation of heterocyclic compounds and the construction of various trifluoromethylated organic scaffolds. As a last part we will discuss synthetic study of bioactive natural products including “izine”-based alkaloids and anticancer aromatic polyketide antibiotics.
