Inivted Talks:

Dr.Ayman Badawi, the chief guest of the conference, presented an excellent lecture on “On the m-Graph of a Finite Abelian Group” via google meet. The concept of Graph theory and Group theory was beautifully narrated with suitable illustrations. The participants were rejoicing the new concept with a good interaction in between.

Dr.T.N.Shanmugam, engaged the audience with an excellent talk on “Cryptography” He explained the roles of branding and marketing the research results to attain the goal of any research. He also emphasized the importance of patenting the research results.

Dr.G.Mahadevan presented a scintillating lecture on “Tremendous Applications of Graphs in Medical Era apart from Digital solutions”. The audience interacted with great enthusiasm and involvement. He explained how graph theory is applied in medical research with a bipartite graph. It was a visual treat to the participants.

Dr. Panchatcharam Mariappan, Associate Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Tirupati delivered a wonderful talk on “Mathematical Modeling of Bioheat Equation”. The participants engaged themselves to a great extent in the interactive session. He demonstrated how the cancer cells are killed in the human body with a help of bio-heat equation and showed it with a graphics visually.

Invited Talk

Dr.S.V.S.S.N.V.G.Krishnamurthy, delivered a thought provoking session on “Advanced Computational Modeling of Differential Equations for Complex Engineering Applications”. The methodology of mathematical modelling was explained step by step procedure. He highlighted that matrices play a vital role in encoding and decoding cryptographic data and used in the Hill cryptosystem for encryption and decryption processes. He displayed the use of Porous Metal Filter for Unmanned Military Flight Vehicle – Low Cost Autonomous Attack System (LOCAAS). He also mentioned the use of simple porous enclosure model to study thermal behaviour, energy transport, and convection processes in engineering and environmental applications. The session enlightened the participants who were interactive throughout the session
