Space Technology Laboratory
The space technology laboratory offers state of the art facilities for exploring the field of cryogenics. The laboratory carries out various research as well as R&D consultation works on fields related to cryogenics, CFD, composites, etc. In addition to this, various collaborative works with renowned institutions in and outside India have been taken up and successfully completed within the stipulated time. The laboratory has enormous research output comprising of 2PhDs, 2 ongoing PhDs, various MTech and BTech projects, SCI, SCIE Scopus indexed journals, numerous national and international conferences, etc. The laboratory presently carries out collaborative research activities with Kookmin (South Korea), UPM and UTM (Malaysia), Mahidol (Thailand), Kyushu (Japan), IITG, KSCSTE (Thiruvananthapuram) for exchange of students and research facilities. The Lab has also produced two PhDs and two more ongoing.
