Dr Amitabh Trehan has been awarded the prestigious ASEM DUO-INDIA professors fellowship 2020 to develop and foster research with Prof. Sushanta Karmarkar of Indian Institute of Technology Guhawati, India.
Together they will work on the well-known Steiner Tree problem in relation to dynamic graphs and in the self-healing (i.e. resilient) low memory distributed networks setting. The Steiner Tree problem is recognised as famous, as one of the classic NP-Complete problems with extensive applications in real life.
The ASEM DUO-INDIA fellowship is an innovative fellowship under the auspices of ASEM – Asia-Europe Meeting which provides exchange fellowships (the DUO fellowship) for exchange visits between pairs of professors of Asian and European universities. The DUO-India fellowship specifically provides for Euro 3,000 each for one month research exchange visits in 2020. This will allow Dr. Karmarkar to spend one month at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Computer Science and Dr. Trehan will reciprocate with a one month visit to Guhawati.
Overall, the ASEM DUO fellowship program fosters collaboration between European and Asian nations. As well as the professors fellowship, the DUO program also runs a similar exchange fellowship for students under which students can take up semester-long exchanges between different universities.
Congratulations to Dr Trehan on being awarded the fellowship.
