Hyderabad: BITS Pilani has joined hands with the University at Buffalo (UB), New York, to advance research and education in artificial intelligence (AI), energy storage, and quantum sciences. The partnership, formalised here on Friday, promises to develop joint graduate programmes where students will split their coursework and research between the two campuses.
The agreement aims to create collaborative projects in emerging areas like materials chemistry and semiconductor quantum science while facilitating faculty exchanges. Legal frameworks around intellectual property and confidentiality are in place to streamline cooperation.
Prof. Ramgopal Rao, Vice Chancellor of BITS Pilani, stressed the impact on India’s innovation landscape, stating, “This collaboration will broaden our students’ horizons and deepen our research impact in areas shaping the future.” Prof. Scott Weber, UB’s Provost called the partnership a key step in tackling critical global technological challenges.
