In a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing the semiconductor and electronic systems landscape, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has partnered with CADFEM India Pvt. Ltd. and Synopsys to inaugurate a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Simulation and Digital Engineering. This collaboration is poised to significantly bolster India’s technological capabilities by integrating high-fidelity simulation with electronic design automation at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE).
The CoE is structured to provide multiphysics simulation tools, robust computational infrastructure, and targeted training, all designed to accelerate research in critical technology sectors such as photonics, electronics, and next-generation semiconductor systems. Dr. Shankar Kumar Selvaraja, Associate Professor at CeNSE, highlighted the advantages of early digital validation of concepts during the design cycle, which not only expedites research but also enhances design confidence.
As part of this partnership, CADFEM India and Synopsys will deliver simulation software, implement training programmes, and offer technical support to cultivate a strong simulation expertise within the research community. This initiative is anticipated to empower researchers and foster a connected digital engineering ecosystem, further advancing India’s ambitions within the semiconductor sector.
The establishment of this CoE is a significant step towards reinforcing India’s position in the global technological arena, particularly in the context of responsible research and innovation.
