IMECE will always have a special place in my heart. My first time was about 2 decades ago in Chicago. It was a delightfully mind-boggling event that explored every facet of Mechanical Engineering and every known overlapping discipline. My own presentation was on the packaging of sensors, which was one of the infinite parallel sessions, all of which contained incredible diversity of thought and work. The events around the core presentations perfectly complemented the agenda. The conference inspired me permanently.
On behalf of the ASME IMECE India 2025 Organizing Committee, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to what promises to be an exciting and ground breaking event in the field of mechanical engineering. This year’s conference marks a milestone in the tradition of innovation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing that has been at the heart of ASME for over a century. The conference is moving outside the USA and to India for the first time ever. It is an absolute privilege for me to have been invited to chair this conference.
As we gather in India, we celebrate the dynamics and ever-evolving landscape of mechanical engineering. IMECE India 2025 brings together thought provoking leaders, researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to engage with the latest advancements in our field. The conference program features an exceptional array of technical sessions, symposia, workshops, and panel discussions, all designed to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in mechanical engineering.
We promise keynotes that demonstrate thought provoking leadership, enriching discussions in Engineering, education, workforce development, learning, development & master class tutorials along with exciting innovation showcases.
The theme of IMECE India 2025 is sustainability, innovation and inclusivity. This theme reflects the broad range of topics, we will explore together, from cuttingedge technologies and manufacturing processes to the integration of AI and robotics in mechanical systems, and from sustainable design practices to the role of mechanical engineering in addressing global societal challenges.
In addition to the wealth of technical content, IMECE India 2025 also offers a fantastic opportunity for networking and collaboration. Whether you are meeting colleagues for the first time, rekindling old partnerships, or engaging with industry leaders, the conference provides an invaluable platform to exchange ideas and spark new collaborations that will shape the future of our profession.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to our keynote speakers, panelists, session chairs, and technical reviewers who have worked tirelessly to ensure that this year’s conference is both informative and inspiring. I also want to acknowledge the contributions of our sponsors, exhibitors, and volunteers, whose support makes IMECE India 2025 possible.
Finally, I encourage all of you to make the most of this opportunity - not only to share your own work and insights but also to immerse yourselves in the wealth of knowledge, build lasting connections and return home with fresh ideas to drive your own research, innovation, and practice.
Thank you for being part of IMECE India 2025. I look forward to an exciting and productive conference and to the many fruitful discussions, collaborations, and innovations that will emerge in the days ahead.
Warm regards,
Dr Kanakasabapathi Subramanian
