About
As engineering systems grow in complexity, the integration of multiple physics and disciplines has become not only possible - but essential. With deeper understanding of system-level physics and the rise of powerful computational technologies, Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis, and Optimization (MDAO) empowers researchers and designers to create solutions that are efficient, accurate, reliable, and robust. The National Conference on Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis and Optimization serves as a platform for academia and industry to converge, exchange insights, and advance the frontiers of multidisciplinary optimization.
The 9th National Conference on Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis and Optimization follows Eight national conferences and one international conference on the MDAO theme held since 2018.
This conference is jointly organized by National Institute of Technology (NIT) Nagaland, and Design Division of The Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI).
This conference brings together the MDAO community from academia, industry, and government laboratories to provide a platform for masterclass lectures, invited talks, paper and poster presentations, and panel discussions on contemporary topics.
