The themes of the conference are related to applied materials like, structural materials, energy materials, electronic materials, biomaterials, computational materials science and sustainable materials. Globally the emphasis is on materials which can cater to reduction in weight of the system for structural applications, miniaturization of electronic devices, materials which improves the efficiency and performance for energy industry at the same time being environmentally sustainable, can be recycled/ reused with emphasis on cost reduction either through material or manufacturing/synthesis routes. Nano materials are continuously being explored to meet these needs. The conference theme deals with the application of modelling techniques to explore synthesis new materials, study their behaviour and predict failures and manufacturing. The proceedings hence covers application of materials in very important areas where new technology is developed for a sustainable development. The proceedings gives the glimpse of new materials synthesis, nanomaterials, property evaluation for various fields, usage of computational methods and AI/ML for materials science and engineering field. The conference is very relevant to the young engineers and science researchers, who are focusing their work in the materials sciences, with emphasis on AI & ML predictive models for synthesis and analysis.
