Symposium 3: Design of Experiments and Response Surface Methodology for Computational Modeling, Process Innovation and Sustainable Technologies

Session Organizers:

Dr Poonam Mishra, Department of Mathematics, School of Technology, PDEU Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.
Prof. Surendra Singh Kachhawaha, Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Technology, PDEU Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.

Design of Experiments (DoE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) have become indispensable statistical and computational tools for scientific investigation, process optimization, product development, and decision-making across diverse engineering and applied science disciplines. Modern research often involves multiple interacting variables, nonlinear responses, experimental uncertainty, and resource constraints, making conventional one-factor-at-a-time experimentation inefficient and incapable of revealing interaction effects. DoE provides a systematic framework for planning experiments that maximize information while minimizing the number of experimental trials, whereas RSM enables mathematical modeling, visualization, optimization, and prediction of complex processes.

The integration of DoE-RSM with computational modeling, machine learning, digital twins, artificial intelligence, finite element simulations, computational fluid dynamics, process systems engineering, and data analytics has significantly expanded its scope in both academic research and industrial applications. The methodology is increasingly adopted in mechanical, chemical, civil, electrical, electronics, energy, petroleum, environmental, materials, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, healthcare, and management sciences for process improvement, quality enhancement, sustainable manufacturing, resource optimization, reliability analysis, and intelligent product design.

This symposium aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and students to present recent advances, innovative methodologies, practical applications, and emerging trends in DoE-RSM. Contributions addressing theoretical developments, computational techniques, industrial case studies, software applications, hybrid optimization approaches, uncertainty analysis, and sustainable engineering solutions are particularly encouraged. The symposium seeks to foster collaborations among statisticians, mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and practitioners while promoting wider adoption of DoE-RSM as a powerful framework for scientific discovery, computational modeling, and sustainable technological innovation.
