DIAT organises workshop on AI-driven simulations for porous media
A press statement issued by the DIAT through the Defence Public Relations Officer, Pune read that the CAIMS PORO workshop was a landmark academic event focused on advancing research and applications in the field of Computational and AI-driven Multiphysics Simulations in Porous Media. The workshop was funded by the Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration (SPARC), an initiative by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, and facilitated by National Coordinator, IIT Kharagpur.
The workshop was organised by DIAT's Department of Applied Mathematics and was a collaborative effort of Prof SVSSNVG Krishna Murthy, the SPARC University Coordinator at DIAT-Pune, Prof BV Rathish Kumar of IIT Kanpur, who has worked alongside with leading global institutions in the field.
'The primary aim of the workshop was to address cutting-edge trends and techniques in Multiphysics simulations — an area of significant importance in engineering and scientific research. Key topics included the digital twins and their applications, AI and machine learning techniques in simulations, multiphysics models for understanding complex porous structures.
The porous structures form a critical area in industries such as materials science, geotechnical engineering, and environmental engineering. Over 100 academic professionals attended the event, with 23 expert lectures from distinguished speakers across India and abroad. The workshop concluded with a valedictory session where Dr BHVS Narayana Murthy, Vice Chancellor of DIAT, delivered a speech recognizing the success of the event.
'The event's structure facilitated extensive interactive sessions that were well-received, with attendees appreciating the opportunity to directly interact with global experts. These sessions encouraged participants to discuss how advanced simulation techniques could be integrated into their own research projects / research, fostering a culture of collaboration and knowledge exchange.' the release read.

API Explainer: The Martech Glossary
Application Programming Interface (API): A set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate and exchange data. APIs are crucial for integrating various MarTech tools. The term "Application Programming Interface" (API) has a history that goes back to the early days of computing, but its meaning and application have evolved significantly over time. While the concept of a standardised way for software components to interact existed earlier, the term "Application Program Interface" first appeared in a 1968 paper titled "Data structures and techniques for remote computer graphics". The authors used it to describe how an application (in this case, a graphics program) interacted with the rest of the computer system. The goal was to create a consistent interface that would free programmers from the specific details of the hardware and allow for hardware independence. The idea of APIs was further developed and applied in different contexts over the following decades: In 1974, the term "application programming interface" was introduced to the field of databases, becoming a part of the ANSI/SPARC framework for database management systems. As computer networks became common in the 1970s and 80s, the concept of APIs expanded to include remote procedure calls, allowing programs on different computers to communicate. With the rise of the internet in the 1990s, the focus shifted to APIs that enabled applications to exchange data over the web. This led to the development of standards like SOAP and, later, the more popular and flexible RESTful APIs. At present, the most common meaning of "API" is a web API, which allows two different software systems to communicate over the internet using requests and responses. The origin of the word is rooted in the early need for a "program interface" that defined the "application's" interaction with the rest of the system.

Freshers safe but mid-level employees must deepen expertise in AI era, says Ascendion CEO
CHENNAI: The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will not affect fresher hiring, as they can be easily trained if they have the right mindset to adapt to new technologies, said Karthik Krishnamurthy, CEO of US-based software engineering firm Ascendion. He was speaking after unveiling the latest version of the company's AI-powered software engineering platform, AAVA, now fully agentic, capable of planning, deciding, and acting on its own to achieve goals with human supervision. However, he cautioned that mid-level professionals face greater risk. "The traditional pyramid model, with a large base of freshers, followed by mid-level staff, and a small number of senior experts, is shifting to a barbell model, where the middle layer is shrinking," he said. In the barbell structure, companies retain large numbers of freshers at one end and highly experienced experts at the other, with fewer mid-level roles. "Mid-level employees must deepen their domain expertise to stay relevant," he added, noting that Ascendion is increasing fresher intake and offering skill-gap training. He also advised students to learn how to build AI agents to boost their employability. Over 60% of Ascendion's projects have adopted the agentic AI model, mostly for clients that need to build software quickly. "It's faster, cheaper, and more efficient," Krishnamurthy said, adding that the tipping point will come when market leaders adopt the model after seeing its benefits.

Op Sindoor was declaration of India's self-reliance in defence sector: DRDO
Pune: Operation Sindoor was a "declaration" of India's ability to stand tall through self-reliance, strategic foresight, and indigenous technological strength, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chairman Samir Kamat said on Saturday. Speaking at the 14th convocation of the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) here, Kamat said the highly coordinated, multi-dimensional operation along the western borders highlighted not just the courage of the soldiers, but also the technological backbone that supported them. "Operation Sindoor was more than a mission. It was a declaration of India's ability to stand tall through self-reliance, strategic foresight, and indigenous technological strength," the DRDO chief said
