The Institute of Engineering has been collaborating with the University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy (https://www.unisannio.it/en), under the Erasmus Learner Mobility Project KA1712022. As part of this collaboration, several faculty members and graduate students, including Ph.D. and Master’s candidates from Pulchowk Campus, have visited the University of Sannio.
Graduate students typically spend three months at the university, conducting research in areas closely related to instrumentation in Prof. Pasquale Daponte's laboratory. This program provides financial support for travel and living expenses, offering participants global exposure, an exceptional learning environment, and the opportunity to work in state-of-the-art laboratories under the guidance of renowned professors.
From September 24, 2024 (Tuesday), a delegation from the University of Sannio, led by Professor Pasquale Daponte, an IEEE Fellow, visited Tribhuvan University and the Institute of Engineering for a week. The delegation aimed to share insights into ongoing activities and explore potential avenues for collaboration. The team included:
- Pasquale Daponte – Professor, Department of Engineering (Electronics/Instrumentation)
- Francesco Pepe – Professor, Department of Engineering (Energetics)
- Marina Paolucci – Professor, Department of Science and Technology (Science, Food, and Technology)
- Giovannivito Persiano – Professor, Department of Engineering (Electronics)
- Francesco Vespasiano – Professor, Department of Law, Economics, Management, and Quantitative Methods (Sociology and Management)
On September 25, 2024 (Wednesday), the professors engaged in discussions with Acting Dean Prof. Dr. Binod Kumar Bhattarai, Assistant Deans Prof. Dr. Sushil Bahadur Bajracharya and Dr. Suraj Lammichane, as well as Assistant Campus Chiefs, Department Heads of Pulchowk Campus, faculty members, and students from various departments.
