About the FDP

Engineering knowledge meets machine learning

Engineering research is entering a phase in which purely equation-based modelling and purely data-driven machine learning may each be insufficient for complex problems. Physics-Informed Machine Learning (PIML) bridges these approaches by incorporating scientific and engineering knowledge into learning systems.

The FDP introduces the fundamentals of PIML, shows how governing equations, conservation laws, constitutive relations, physical constraints, and initial or boundary conditions can be incorporated into machine-learning models, and explores engineering applications and emerging research opportunities.

Participants will gain introductory hands-on exposure to a PIML research workflow: defining a research problem, identifying governing physics, preparing data, building a preliminary model, interpreting results and developing an AI-assisted research narrative.

Who can register?

Open across engineering disciplines

Interested participants from Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics and allied branches are welcome.

  • Faculty and researchers
  • Research scholars and students
  • Engineers exploring AI-assisted research

Registration is free and seats are limited.
