We recently had the pleasure of a visit by Prof. Vethamony from NIO, India who is a specialist in coastal wave processes. His PhD student, Mr. Renjith, was attached to myself a few months ago, to learn dynamic water quality modeling. The visit by Prof. Vethamony this time round, is to formally initiate collaborative ties between BERU, IIUM and NIO. Prior to arriving in IIUM, Prof. Vethamony was in NUS for a good two weeks.
Water quality modeling of course, is one of the key areas for collaboration and we've identified other good potential areas as well. Myself, Prof. Vethamony and Mr. Renjith are now working together to develop a water quality model for the west-coast of India. Whilst in IIUM, Prof. Vethamony was kind enough to give a couple of lectures on coastal modeling and on research opportunities at NIO.
Further to our research collaboration, Prof. has invited me to visit NIO, which I will probably do sometime next year. They say Goa is a really beautiful place :-)
