    Host: Fraunhofer LBF, Darmstadt

    Area of Work: Adaptive torsional vibration isolators using Magneto-rheological elastomer (MRE). She intends to develop a prototype adaptive torsional vibration isolator (ATVI) using magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), whose dynamic properties can be controlled in real-time using magnetic field.

  • Dr. Raviraj Verma, IIT, Madras

    Host: Fraunhofer IAPT, Hamburg

    Area of Work: Design and development of aerospace structural part manufactured through laser+wire based directed energy deposition technique. He intends to use additive manufacturing (AM) techniques to improve buy-to-fly ratio, lead-time, and structural integrity of aerospace components (like satellite bracket, aeroengine stators, etc.)

  • Dr. Navaneethakrishna Makaram, IIT Madras

    Host: Mentalab GmbH, Munich

    Area of Work: SmarTaTSS: Tattoo Sensors for Smart Sleep Monitoring. He aims to design and develop a tattoo sensor for the continuous monitoring of the respiratory rate for sleep quality assessment.

  • Dr. Govind Narayan Sahu, IIT Kanpur

    Host: Fraunhofer IWU, Chemnitz

    Area of Work: Digital twin for machining with structure integrated active damper. He aims to integrate active damping model of metal cutting vibrations in the digital twin of machining process and improve machining performance.

  • Dr. Keerthana M, CSIR-SERC, Chennai

    Host: Fraunhofer IWES, Oldenburg

    Area of Work: An improved framework for assessment of loads on multi-megawatt wind turbines under yawed flow in Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems. She intends to aims to use high fidelity tools such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Actuator Line Model (ALM) to calibrate the correction models adopted in conjunction with BEM.

  • Dr. Neeraj Paul, IIT Madras

    Host: Fraunhofer IWES, Oldenburg

    Area of Work: Development of a low-order acoustic propagation model for new-generation wind turbines operating above the atmospheric boundary layer. The model will be able to describe the fluctuating characteristics of noise at different locations in a three dimensional space.

  • Dr. Balram Singh, University of Delhi

    Host: DendroPharm, Berlin
