Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad (IITH), known for its innovative curriculum, research opportunities and best student-faculty ratio, is one of the sixteen apex institutions for engineering education and research in India. Established in the year 2008, IITH is located in the quite residential area of Kandi, around 30 minutes’ drive from the heart of Hyderabad city in the southern Indian State of Telengana.

More information on IITH can be found from the following link: www.dropbox.com/sh/8hs029xexrx92to/AADg9imi3lYRcGYia9-QMx-Ia?dl=0in

IITH offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in eight disciplines of engineering and research degrees across all disciplines in engineering, sciences and liberal arts.

Expected support from the UK partner universities

1) Short-term research facility for research students from IITH  in UK institutions in the following areas: energy, high speed flows, combustion, digital fabrication, composites, communication and signal processing, machine learning, big data, networking, algorithms, cyber physical systems, internet of things, nano science and technology, wireless sensor networks, Photography, visual communication, typography, film.

2)  Interested in faculty exchange across disciplines.

3)  Interested to collaborate with UK institutions in research projects.

Support offered by IIT Hyderabad

1) Faculty members of IIT Hyderabad can teach in UK institutions in highly specialised courses like Heterogeneous Reaction Engineering, Surface Science and Catalysis, Chemical Reactor Modeling, Advanced Topics in Thermodynamics, Cardiovascular Mechanics, Biochemical signals and systems, Multi-phase Non-Newtonian Fluids, Biomimicking and Bioinspiration, Pattern Recognition, Advanced Topics in Data Management, Quantum Computing, Cryptography, Video Content Analysis, Automatic Parallelization, Design for Manufacturability and Assembly, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, Solid State Physics, Particle Physics. Photoethanography, photography, contemporary documentary, visual design, special perception, product semantics

2)  IITH can provide free board and lodging to visiting students for undertaking collaborative research in energy, high speed flows, combustion, digital fabrication, composites, communication and signal processing, machine learning, big data, networking, algorithms, cyber physical systems, internet of things, nano science and technology, wireless sensor networks. To and fro travel of UK students need to be funded by the UK universities.

Timeline : IITH’s target is in long-term collaborations and would like to enter into collaborations at the earliest.

     Action Required: UK universities interested in this opportunity should contact the director: director@iith.ac.in or write to Eldho.Mathews@in.britishcouncil.org
