We felt that the conference was a great confluence, you know, and confluence of physical and digital confluence of academics, industry, government institutions, confluence of senior researchers with younger talent like the student communities.

So one of the key takeaways for me from this conference is getting kind of a realization of what exposure can do for people. You know, we have had a very vibrant presence of our students who have attended this conference, and I hope that they have not only seen kind of the energy and the vibrancy of the community here, but it's also giving them ideas on what are kind of the use cases of the work that they do in practice. What are the types of industrial problems that they can be working on that will translate the deep domain expertise and knowledge that they bring to the table to translate it into problems that matter.

The systems level modeling, bio focused modeling and simulation has brought in a lot of industry academic and focus and students are as well attending. So it is extremely, I think, a big step forward this year compared to last year

But this year it was completely a new dimension. We were able to introduce systems engineering and we were also able to introduce bio sciences.

My hope is that eventually by bringing this together, we can make sure that aspects like digital or in general artificial intelligence, machine learning are more and more integrated in our normal working processes.

I think for me, honestly, what I feel was really fantastic. A new addition that we were able to do successfully was to bringing the students and they were able to present the posters and interacted with the audience who come with lots of years of experience, both from academia and industry. So I think for me that was a really a great thing

[Suchismita Sanyal talks on Voiceover]
In every session in materials molecule systems design and bio design, how are we using cutting edge AI/ML technologies along with high performance computing, along with Chemistry and Physics based modeling? How different industry is doing that? How are different academicians doing that? How are we as shown doing that? It has been a wonderful learning experience.
This time we were able to bring in our partners and collaborators via the Shell GameChanger program, our collaborations in the social entrepreneurial side and we brought them mainstream. We gave them a spotlight showcase in the sessions, they talked to us about how they're using Fundamental science again, Physical and Digital sciences to improve the quality of lives of our society. And many people found that very inspiring, just as us.
