Prayagraj: The department of Mathematics at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) Allahabad organised the three-day International Conference on Applied Mathematics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (ICAMCFD–2026). The conference, which will conclude on Feb 1, brought together scientists, researchers and academics from India and abroad. The conference was inaugurated by Prof M M Gore, officiating director, MNNIT Allahabad, on Friday. He emphasised the critical role of mathematics and computational methods in addressing real-life challenges in energy, the environment, industry and engineering. He said such academic platforms help bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical applications.Chief guest, Prof Somnath Bhattacharyya of IIT Kharagpur, highlighted that complex engineering problems require strong mathematical modelling and advanced computational techniques, noting their growing impact on technological and industrial development. The event was chaired by Prof Pitam Singh, head of the department of Mathematics, who outlined the department’s achievements and its contributions to applied and pure mathematics research.The conference was convened by Prof Pramod Kumar Yadav, Naren Bag and Abhishek Kundu. More than 100 research papers were submitted for review, of which around 60 were selected for presentation, with nearly 30 high-quality papers shortlisted for possible publication in peer-reviewed journals.
