U. Chicago partners with IIT Bombay on advanced tech research
The University of Chicago announced last week it’s formed a partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay to advance work in fields including quantum information science, climate and energy, advanced microelectronics, artificial intelligence and data science.
The partnership, which was highlighted during President Joe Biden’s recent meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G20 summit in New Delhi, India, is hoped to advance research and build links between the governments and research apparatuses of the U.S. and India.
“Engaging in field-defining research at the frontiers of knowledge requires global partnerships. For the University of Chicago, this agreement with IIT Bombay is important not just for the scale that our collaborative efforts will achieve on new and emerging technologies, but also for developing future talent in these fields,” said Juan de Pablo, a molecular engineering professor at the University of Chicago.
In addition the new partnership, IIT Bombay also became the fifth international member of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, a hub for advancing quantum engineering research headquartered at University of Chicago. Other members include Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Northwestern University.
The new partnership is to include joint research, conferences, scholar visits and data exchanges on fields such as climate, energy, advanced microelectronics, artificial intelligence and data science.
