Department of Mechanical under the aegis of NITJ is organising an Online Workshop on Molecular Dynamics Simulation & Analysis (MD-2025) from July 28 to August 1, 2025. The workshop will introduce the field of molecular modelling and simulation to the participants through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on sessions. In particular, the focus will be on the classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique. The simulations will be conducted and demonstrated using Materials Studio and the open-source software package LAMMPS. The software packages VMD and OVITO (also open source) will be used to visualize molecular models and simulation results. This workshop aims to review various molecular simulation techniques with a focus on how practical industrial problems can be solved using molecular simulations by helping screen a range of potential raw materials without the need to actually synthesise such products/chemicals. Such simulation techniques may reduce the huge amount of money spent on chemicals and human resources, for synthesizing specific products. The workshop shall involve experts working in the area of molecular simulations who are engaged in using such techniques for developing their own codes or are using similar software to understand and solve fundamental and practical problems related to Mechanical Engineering.
Institute is named after Bharat Ratna Dr B R Ambedkar, founder of Indian Constitution. The institute came into existence in the year 1988 as Regional Engineering college on a beautiful campus of about 154 acres close to the heart of Jalandhar city. The institute obtained the status "Institute of National Importance" by Act of Parliament in 2007. The institute is located on the G.T. Road Amritsar bye-pass at a distance of 15 km from Jalandhar Bus Stand, 12 km from Jalandhar City Railway Station, and 18 km from Jalandhar Cantt. Railway Station. The Institute is well connected to National Capital through rail and road link. The institute was ranked 58
The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1990 and has grown as one of the dynamic departments of the Institute over the last three decades. The Department offers B.Tech, M.Tech (Design & Thermal) and PhD programmes. The B.Tech program is accredited by NBA.
The participant must register on or before 14 July, 2025 in order to attend the workshop.
