Key Research Area
RMSoEE specializes in a broad spectrum of Research areas. The uniqueness of these fields is the trans-disciplinary nature of study. From the Risk Perception of Start-ups in the Indian Context to the dynamics of grass-root innovation we have engineers studying under economists/data analysts / social scholars to understand and identify trends and mechanisms in and around entrepreneurship.
Data Analytics
Big Data Analytics: Entrepreneurs build data-driven products and services.
Business Analytics: Statistical quantitative analysis with SPSS, AMOS, STATA, R, SYSTAT, and SAS using PROWESS, BLOOMBERG, and Venture Intelligence databases.
Complex Networks: Developing complex network models for preventive care service design for rural India.
Healthcare Management
Healthcare Operations Management: Modeling and Simulation of healthcare systems for improving preventive, promotive, and emergency services.
Health Service Delivery:Â Co-creation of health services in order to improve access, availability, utilization, and coverage.
Image Processing: Partnering with Tata Medical Centre, Kolkata, we explore using low-energy CBCT images to achieve similar accuracy.
Energy Management & Sustainability
New Materials for Energy Storage: Synthesizing cost-effective new materials to evolve high energy density, safe electrochemical devices for various future renewable energy storage applications.
Energy Storage for e-vehicles: Battery types with respect to the chemistries and design to form a cost-effective yet efficient and safe energy source for electric vehicles in India.
Sustainable Renewable Energy Integration: Change in the electricity network and derive sustainable energy policies for implementing smart grid network.
Nonconventional Energy Applications: Harvesting magnetic force for clean and convenient energy applications.
Waste Management
E-waste Management: Evolving methods for estimation, analysis, and management of the e-waste generated at the organizational level to frame policies to combat the future menace.
Waste Energy Management: Adoption of a suitable thermodynamic cycle to recover and reuse the industrial waste heat.
Solid Waste Management: Processes are being developed for making bricks, concrete, and mortar from mine spoil and tailings, while thermoplastic and biosolids are being used to make lightweight and energy-efficient bricks and concrete.
Product Development
Engineering Design Process: Virtual prototypes are being carried out to validate a design, with CAD, engineering, and simulation.
Product Development & Prototyping: Developing design translation methods and generate prototypes for testing new design supported with electro-mechanical fabrication and testing facilities.
Phytochemical Development: Bio-Lab is involved in extraction and preparation of crude extract from locally available indigenous plant product, fractionation, purification, identification of the compounds.
Multidisciplinary Product Development: Develop products in multiple domains to increase understanding of their fundamentals and eventually integrate them into all products.
Entrepreneurship Development
Technology Entrepreneurship and Quality Issues: Practical and theoretical issues around entrepreneurship with technology-driven products, their conceptualization, logistics, IP, and quality issues in development and market traction.
Entrepreneurial Business Environment and Leadership: Research tools and concepts that leaders can use to guide their actions in startup growth and managing change for a firm’s critical requirements.
Entrepreneurial Ecosystem and Technology Transfer:Â Institutional transformation mechanism for entrepreneurship Development models and creating an ecosystem for nurturing start-ups for offering a conducive environment towards entrepreneurship development.
Entrepreneurial Finance, Economics & Governance Issues: Practical and theoretical issues around the financing and economics of new ventures and, the link between their governance mechanisms and firm performance in terms of financial and non-financial performance.
Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development:Â Qualitative understandings with action research and ethnographical studies being involved in the community.
