Press Release

4th International Conference on Mathematical Modelling, Computational Intelligence Techniques and Renewable Energy (MMCITRE – 2024) is being held at Manipal University Jaipur. This three days event is being organised by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Manipal University Jaipur in association with University of Barcelona, Spain; RACEF Society, Barcelona, Spain; UCSC Chile, UPTC Colombia and Forum for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (FIM), Gujarat Chapter. The inaugural session started with lighting of lamp and Saraswati Vandana. Prof. Kalpana Sharma, Head of Mathematics department welcomed all the delegates and shared the key highlights of the department. The convener of the conference Dr. Ram Naresh Saraswat told that total 400 research articles were received at the conference from across the globe.

 Dean, Faculty of Science, Prof Lalita Ledwani, in her speech mentioned that mathematical modelling is the need of today’s world as we embark on the journey to find the cost effective solutions to our problems. Speaking at the conference, Registrar, Prof. Nitu Bhatnagar briefed about inception and accelerating growth of Manipal University Jaipur. The president, Prof. G.K. Prabhu underlined the importance of mathematical modelling in his address. He gave an example of human heart which acts a pumping machine and working of it can be understood via modelling. He also corroborated the idea of mathematical modelling with artificial neural network and computed tomography. A souvenir of the conference was also unveiled during the inaugural ceremony.

The chief guest of the event Prof. S Sundar, Director, NIT Mizoram who joined the event online said that his research team is trying to understand the flow of rivers by doing modelling and simulations. The other conveners of this international mega event from collaborative institutes from abroad shared their views online. Two of them were Prof. J.M. Merigo Lindahl from University of Technology, Sydney, Australia and Prof. Ernesto Leon Castro from UCSC, Chile. The guest of honour, Prof. G.P. Raja Sekhar from IIT Kharagpur mentioned that every system in nature has some mathematical model. Our task is to decode it to make innovations. He emphasized on networking. Another guest of honor, Prof. Sree Hari Rao Vadrevu, Director and Principal Research Scientist, Foundation for Scientific Research, Hyderabad motivated the younger researchers to focus on fundamental ideas and come up with such theories which are universal in nature. The program ended with formal vote of thanks by co-convener of the event Dr. Mohd. Rizwanullah.
