Research Project

Research is about innovation; it is the way in which knowledge is pursued, developed, and created, and the process of discovery itself enables the researcher to develop a deeper understanding of a particular area as well as contribute to a broader understanding of issues of relevance in our world. Engaging with the research community at KIIT is possible for students in all concentrations. Whether you have participated in research work previously or are just getting started, there are opportunities designed to meet you where you are right now. 

Research opportunities come in many formats and happen in a variety of settings. They often start off as a question that someone wants to explore more fully. I'm initiating research projects designed for this purpose. It might also begin with you! In your studies, for example, you may have noticed a lack of knowledge or a lack of recent work on a particular topic that interests you. With my guidance, you could be the person to explore and find answers to fill in the void of missing information. Depending on the scale of a project, you might find yourself working on a team or operating on your own and coordinating your efforts with me. This work may take place on campus, at other domestic locations, or even internationally during term time or over the course of the summer.

I'm excited to announce that applications are open for the Research Project for graduate and post-graduate level, designed to support innovative and impactful research in the fields of Astrodynamics, Dynamical Systems, Numerical Optimization,  Big Data Analysis, and Machine Learning. This initiative aims to foster research projects that address critical issues and opportunities in Space Trajectory Optimization, encouraging proposals that demonstrate creativity, scientific rigor, and the potential for significant contributions to the field. Interested applicants include researchers from KIIT Deemed to be University, with a focus on projects that align with the project’s goals. We particularly welcome proposals in areas such as Astrodynamics, Big Data Analysis, and Machine Learning. 

To apply, researchers must submit a research proposal, along with curriculum vitae and any necessary letters of support, via mail at vijil.kumarfma@kiit.ac.in or may come to my office for a brief discussion.
