UPHF starts a collaboration with the INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE OF BANGALORE (INDIA)
The President of the UPHF, Abdelhakim Artiba, the INSA Hauts-de-France Director, Armel de la Bourdonnaye and Professor Bikramjit Basu, representing the Registrar Capt. Sridhar Warrier (Retd.), of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) of Bangalore, signed a collaboration agreement in Valenciennes, this July 5th.
IISc, Bangalore is the number 1 research institute in India in terms of research performance, in terms of all the global ranking systems. It has been declared an Institution of Eminence (IoE) by the Indian government. Nobel Laureate Sir C. V. Raman was the first Indian Director of IISc, Bangalore.
The objective of the collaboration between the UPHF and the IISc is to strengthen our links in research and teaching (exchanges of students, researchers, co-supervision of the thesis, etc.).
The fields of research concern, as a first step, the strengthening of collaborations with CERAMATHS, a research component of the UPHF: biomaterials, piezoelectric ceramics, and additive manufacturing, etc.
In the second stage, the objective is to open the research horizon toward more cross-cutting themes that will interest the entire research ecosystem of the UPHF. These are "biomaterialomics" at the intersection of mathematics, materials, engineering, health, big data, and artificial intelligence.
