Centre for Nonlinear and Complex Networks (CNCN) 

Mission

The mission of CNN is to be a global leader in nonlinear dynamics and complex network research. We seek to educate young students and researchers, fostering an innovative hub where interdisciplinary collaboration drives breakthroughs. By exploring both theoretical and experimental perspectives, we address real-world challenges and propel scientific and technological advancements through innovative research, education, and outreach.

Roles and Responsibilities

The main role of all the members of CNN is to conduct quality research in all ethical means and to publish high caliber research articles in peer-reviewed international journals. Members actively engage in preparing and submitting grant proposals to funding agencies and organizations. They identify and pursue funding opportunities from a variety of sources, including government agencies like the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), private foundations, industry partnerships, and international collaborations. The center members will identify the new research opportunities that will address the real-world challenges. It is necessary to establish collaborations with other higher reputed research institutions and industrial partners. This center is also a nurturing hub for budding researchers to explore and understand the nonlinear systems and complex networks in diverse fields. This center will be a test ground for young under-graduate and graduate innovators who aspire to execute their ideas under the mentorship of faculty members of this center. All the center members will represent the center at national and international forums by launching tailored courses.

Publication and project outcomes

The center’s members will publish their research findings in reputed journals. The presentation of research results at major conferences ensures global dissemination and exchange of ideas, fostering collaboration and recognition within the scientific community. The intensive research activities of the center will deliver the outcomes as quality research publications in all standards, running the funded projects that address fundamental and industrial problems. Initiating the startups based on the research outcomes of the center. Collaborations with industry and academic partners translate theoretical insights into practical solutions. These outcomes address real-world challenges in diverse domains, particularly in artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
