Call for Mini Symposia
Mini Symposia on Understanding Ayurveda Through Modern Science
by
Dr. V. Srinivasa Chakravarthy
Dr. C. Lakshmana Rao
IIT Madras
- Measurements of biomedical signals from Ayurvedic (and AYUSH) treatments,
- Measurement of mechanical effects of Ayurvedic (and AYUSH) treatments,
- Models for predicting the effects of Ayurvedic (and AYUSH) treatments,
- Devices for diagnostics and treatment used in Ayurveda,
- Data Analysis of signals and images from Ayurvedic (and AYUSH) patients,
- Physics-based theories of fundamental concepts of Ayurveda (e.g.tridoshas).
Mini Symposia on Undergraduate Research Program (URP)
The URP comprises of the following features:-
- URP is a special symposium meant to encourage Research presentations by Undergraduates students working in the broad field of Mechanics.
- Teams of Undergraduates along with their advisors can submit the abstracts of their presentations for this symposium.
- These submissions will be presented in a separate session during INCAM 2026 and the best three (3) presentations will be given awards.
- All presentations are eligible for consideration for publication in conference proceedings or Journal papers in par with other papers from Mini symposia.
