About Us

With deeper understanding of physics of the system along with growing powerful computing technology, it is now viable to design more efficient and optimized engineering systems incorporating multiple physics. The field of Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) enables the researchers and designers from academia and industry to build optimized systems that are efficient, accurate, reliable and robust.


The 6th edition of the National Conference on Multidisciplinary Design, Analysis and Optimization (NCMDAO 2023) is going to be organized at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati during December 6 - 8, 2023. The conference is jointly organized by IIT Guwahati and Design division of the Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI). The conference provides a unique platform to bring together the researchers and industry professionals working in the field of MDAO and share the expertize in the form of contributed paper presentations, interactive poster sessions, keynotes and invited talks, panel discussions, and a master class on contemporary topics.


The focus is on design and analysis as applicable to optimization of engineering systems in aerospace, mechanical, automotive, manufacturing, biomedical and other domains. The overall theme of the conference, to be held at IIT Guwahati, is classified into the following technical tracks:

Exploring North East

The eight states of North East India are blessed with scenic natural beauty, comfortable weather, rich biodiversity, rare wild life, historical sites, distinct cultural and ethnic heritage and most importantly, warm and welcoming people. The region offers unforgettable visits for tourists interested in wild life, religious, cultural and ethnic tourism, river cruises, golf and a host of others. There is also great scope for mountaineering, trekking and adventure tourism in the region.

Northeast India is home to many wildlife sanctuaries such as Kaziranga (which is famous for the one horned rhinoceros), Manas, Nameri, Orang, Dibru Saikhowa National Parks in Assam, Namdhapha National Park in Arunachal Pradesh, Balpakram National Park in Meghalaya, Keibul Namjao National Park in Manipur, Intanki National Park in Nagaland, Khangchendzonga National Park in Sikkim. Brahmaputra river flows through the length of Assam where tourists can enjoy memorable river cruises and the flowing rivers of Arunachal Pradesh which feed the Brahmaputra offering incredible white water rafting experiences.


Places to visit in Guwahati

Kamakhya Temple atop the Neelachal hill, an ancient temple associated with many mythological stories. Initially, it was a place of worship for the Kiratas: early settlers of Assam, belonging to Sino-Tibetan origins. The earliest temple was established around 8th to 9th century A.D., which was brought to ruins in the 15th century. Construction of the existing structure was started in the mid 16th century.

Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary: A wildlife sanctuary on the southern bank of the Brahmaputra in Morigaon district in Assam and 35 kms from Guwahati.

Deepor Beel: Protected wetlands harbouring rich biodiversity within the city's premises.


Nearby Places

Sualkuchi: Assam produces three unique varieties of silks: the Golden Muga, the White Pat and the warm Eri Silks, that are grown all over the state and find their way to Sualkuchi, 32 kms from Guwahati. Sualkuchi is one of the world's largest weaving villages often called the Manchester of the East. The entire population here is engaged in weaving exquisite silk fabrics. A renowned centre of silk production, particularly known for Muga - the golden silk of Assam which is not produced anywhere else in the world.


Manas National Park: A tiger reserve and a world heritage site, the park harbours more than 20 endangered species and is famous for its unique scenic beauty. About 130 km north to Guwahati, the Manas National Park gives you the opportunity to take a peak at Bhutan which is across the Manas river flowing through the national park. Manas is famous for birding activities, elephant rides and river rafting in the pristine Manas river. There are several hotels, bed and breakfasts and even resorts right at the gates of Manas National Park. You can visit the official website of Manas National Park for details.


Kaziranga National Park: Kaziranga National Park is a world heritage site where the major attraction includes close look at rhino, swamp deer, thousands of local and migratory birds flocking in wetlands and the scenic beauty of Karbi Anglong Hills. Kaziranga is about 200 km east to Guwahati. Road trip to Kaziranga in itself is a wonderful ride flanked by rice fields and betel nut trees on either side of the road. The national park is not open to tourists for about five months from April to October as a precaution due to warning of floods. December is perhaps the best time to visit the Kaziranga national park as the climate is mild and dry. The chances of spotting rhinos are more in winter as the grass burn off and the background becomes clearer. You can visit the official website of Kaziranga National Park for details.


Majuli: Assam is famous for Majuli, the world's largest river island. Majuli situated in the midst of river Brahmaputra, is the centre of Vishnava culture. There are over fifteen Vaishnava monasteries or satras on Majuli. The major satras are Kamalabari, Natun Kamalabari, Auniati, Garmur, Samoguri, Dakhinpat and Bengenaati. These satras are regarded as the main centres for Assamese art, music, dance, drama, handicrafts, literature and religion etc. Auniati is famous for its considerable collection of Assamese old utensils, jewellery and handicrafts. Upper Majuli is inhabited by tribes like the Mising and the Deoris and is the centre of a living heritage of colourful costumes and festivals. Plenty of migratory birds of great varieties are also seen. For more information, visit this website.


Shillong: Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya state, is also called the Scotland of East because of its natural beauty, has been one of the important tourist destinations in the north-east. The amazing series of waterfalls, the mystic mountain peaks, crystal clear water lakes, breathtakingly beautiful golf courses, museums and zoo - Shillong has a different facade for everyone. Towering pines and gurgling mountain streams, awesome waterfalls that go by the name of Elephant, Crinoline, Sweet Falls, and the twin Bishop and Beadon are the major attraction of Shillong. The state website has all the relevant details for various places in and around Shillong.


Some of the main tourists circuits identified based of difference themes and starting from Guwahati are as follows:

  • Guwahati – Kaziranga – Nameri – Dirang – Tawang – Bomdial – Tezpur – Guwahati (Tawang Arunachal circuit 8 nights/9 days)

  • Guwahati – Cherrapunji – Shillong – Mawlynnong – Guwahati (Meghalaya circuit 5 nights/6 days)
