Marg Group and Virginia Tech, US, are jointly setting up a Centre of Research inside the campus of Marg Swarnabhoomi, a huge residential complex on the East Coast Road.
The research, through Virginia Tech's Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science, has identified Energy Harvesting, Cognitive Radio and Nano Technology as focus areas. These sectors are critical for improving living standards of people, says a press release issued by the Marg Group.
While Virginia Tech is engaged in graduate education, scientific and technological collaborative research, and scholarly outreach programs in different disciplines, Marg Swarnabhoombi also houses a number of residential institutions.
