Some of our
Research Areas
The fundamental mission of TCG CREST is to conduct fundamental research at the frontiers of both science and technology. It seeks to encourage cross-pollination of ideas and concepts among the various research programs of the individual institutes within its umbrella. A few of the research areas are highlighted here. Please go to the details to get an exhaustive information of our research inititatives.
IAI
The research program in the Cryptography and Security group at IAI TCG-CREST focuses on the theoretical as well as the applied aspect of Cryptology and Security research.
RISE
Research focuses on in the next-generation solid state and rechargeable and flexible battery technologies due to safety , operating temperature range, and potential high energy density in comparison to traditional liquid electrolyte-based systems.
CQuERE
Quantum computation/simulation of quantum many-body systems could enable us to reduce the time complexity of time-consuming calculations, thereby promising applications in topics such as drug design. It could also enable us to explore possibilities of quantum engineering using photons, as well as tackle issues related to climate modelling.
CHINTA
Neurodegenerative and Neuropsychiatric diseases are global public health threats. Absence of interdisciplinary approach is one of the main reason for failure to discover new medicines and therapies to improve the quality of life. The core research area of CHINTA focuses on this translational neuroscience from discovery to delivery.
Translational Research in Mathematics (TRIM)
IAI
TRIM, focusses on foundational research in both fundamental and applied mathematics with the aim of translating research results to tangible contributions as is necessary in the modern realm of interdisciplinary advances in science and technology.
Publications
Implementing research and publishing results in the form of scientific articles is crucial for the progress of science and technology. Scientific publications not only increases the depth of knowledge for the author(s) but more importantly results in a greater contribution of knowledge for others. TCG CREST always thrives to enrich the scientific community through publications.
View AllTCG CREST has set up the campus in two locations in Sector V, Salt Lake City, Kolkata. State-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities for the individual Institutes, spacious classrooms and technology interventions for executing both off-line and on-line academic classes and programs, conference rooms and other infrastructures provide the students and the faculty an ideal environment for creative exchanges and high end research collaborations.
