Centers of Excellence
SKBET (SK Dash Center of Excellence of Bio-Sciences and Engineering & Technology)
Dr. SK Dash, a global pioneer in probiotics and recipient of numerous international awards, established the SK Dash Center of Excellence of Bio-Sciences and Engineering & Technology (SKBET) at IIT Bhubaneswar. The center focuses on advancing research in bio-molecular and food technology, aiming to build capacity in these fields. SKBET hosts the Probiotics and Human Microbiome Research Laboratory, which uses innovative technologies to address human gut microbiome-related diseases.
CENEMA (Center of Excellence for Novel Energy Materials)
With the goal is to advance the understanding of energy materials through Materials Genomics, the center focuses on a subset of materials for energy applications. This involves developing methods across various scales, including electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and continuum schemes, using high-performance computing (HPC) for realistic simulations.
