A 3-day summit of talks from academia and industry and open discussions
A 3-day summit of talks from academia and industry and open discussions
This unique event aims to bring together early-career researchers working in the field of Mechanical Sciences across India. The event is a first of its kind and should provide a platform to meet, present, discuss, and initiate future collaborations. The topics span solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, robotics, and manufacturing.

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, I welcome you to the second Mechanical Sciences Young Investigators Meet (MSYIM 2025). This is the symposium where young Mechanical Engineering researchers in India are gathering to present new ideas and chalk out future directions. The symposium comprises dedicated sessions from various fields in Mechanical Engineering.
During your stay at IIT Kanpur, I strongly encourage you to visit various laboratories in our department and the institute. We hope the sessions and meetings will foster new ideas and forge new collaborations. I look forward to meeting you all at MSYIM 2025.
Best wishes,
Ashish Dutta, Professor & Head
