23-25 October 2026 | IIT Jodhpur
The i-CAM 2026 meet aims to bring together leading researchers, academicians, and industry professionals from across the globe to discuss advances in various aspects of applied materials. The three-day programme will feature plenary lectures, keynote lectures, and scientifically enriching invited and contributed talks, along with interactive poster sessions.
The Department of Materials Engineering at IIT Jodhpur was established in 2017, and the Department is committed to high-quality education and research in the broad area of Materials Engineering. The Department continuously strives for excellence in teaching and research through innovative pedagogy and curriculum, by undertaking interdisciplinary projects, and through active collaborations with industries, R&D labs, and academia. By enabling the students to think independently and equipping them with relevant skill sets, our goal is to encourage the graduates to innovate and address present-day materials challenges to meet the needs of the country.
At present, the Department offers B.Tech., M.Tech., and Ph.D. programs. The Department's teaching and research activities cover four major streams- structural materials, functional materials, computational materials engineering, and process metallurgy. From structural materials to semiconductors, we attempt to understand the processing, composition and structure, properties, and performance of materials for deriving novel, effective, and sustainable alternatives. Currently, efforts are being made to introduce advanced concepts such as smart materials, additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensor materials, etc., as a part of solving interdisciplinary problems requiring Materials Engineering knowledge.
Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur was established in 2008 to foster technology education and research in India. The Institute is committed to technological thought and action to benefit the economic development of the country. Scholarship in teaching and learning, scholarship in research and creative accomplishments, and relevance to industry are the three driving forces at IIT Jodhpur.
IIT Jodhpur functions from its sprawling residential permanent campus of 852 acres on National Highway 65, north-northwest of Jodhpur towards Nagaur. This campus is meticulously planned and envisioned to stand as a symbol of academics - simple yet profound.
The Institute is committed to a multidisciplinary approach to technology development. Hence, it has established state-of-the-art laboratories for basic research and has organised its academic degree programs through departments, while coordinating research activities through Centers for Technologies.
The IIT Jodhpur campus is home to diverse desert flora and fauna, reflecting the natural ecology of western Rajasthan.
About Jodhpur: The Blue City
Jodhpur, the second-largest city in Rajasthan, is a captivating blend of ancient history and modern dynamism. Known globally as the "Blue City" for the iconic azure-hued houses surrounding the majestic Mehrangarh Fort, it offers a glimpse into India's rich royal heritage and architectural brilliance.
Historical Grandeur
Founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha, the city served as the capital of the Marwar kingdom. Today, it stands as a testament to Rajputana courage and artistic finesse. The city's skyline is dominated by Mehrangarh Fort, one of the largest and most well-preserved forts in India, offering breathtaking views of the "Blue City" below.
