Applied deep tech research at the industrial frontier

Enerzi Microwave Systems
This is one of the most niche and industry-specific CoEs on campus, and one of the most consequential for deep tech research. Established in 2018 the centre focuses on microwave heating technology and hybrid processing of engineering materials.
Students and PhD researchers work on microwave sintering, friction stir processing, composite manufacturing, and the development of tailored materials for strategic and defence applications. The centre has produced patents, won awards at IMTEX 2022 and IMTEX Forming 2024, and published extensively in high-impact international journals.
This is applied deep tech research not academic exercises.
Key focus: Microwave sintering, hybrid material processing, strategic materials, defence applications.
