The Story in Brief
A technical lecture on optimisation and multi-objective optimisation was held at Andhra University College of Engineering in Visakhapatnam on Thursday. G.P. Pandu Rangaiah, Professor Emeritus at the National University of Singapore and an alumnus of Andhra University, delivered the session. He covered fundamentals like mathematical modelling, objective functions and optimal design, and discussed applications in aerospace, control systems, product design, data analysis and supply chains. The lecture also touched on multi-objective optimisation, pareto-optimal solutions, trade-offs involving cost, time and CO₂ emissions, and sustainable engineering using evolutionary algorithms.
The Indian Opinion
It is tempting to dismiss such academic lectures as routine photo-ops, but the return of an alumnus like G.P. Pandu Rangaiah underlines the value of global expertise flowing back to local institutions. The narrative that Indian universities are isolated from cutting-edge research is one-sided. The real test is whether students and faculty here take these ideas into applied projects, not just attendance counts.
