Prof. Amit Ray Email & Phone Number

In 1981 in Fine Arts Discipline under Humanities & Social Sciences, I had introduced a new area in interdisciplinary activity Undergraduate Curriculum- Industrial Design, where 'art, science, and technology' could actively participate through academic, as well as research work.In 2002 IIT Kanpur as one of the founding members established the Design Program (Master of Design Program) because of the earlier years of continuous teaching and research in Art and Design. I took initiative in developing the Master of Design Program Curriculum at IIT Kanpur. Since then I am involved in National Design Curriculum Development at Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay. In 2008, single-handedly I had the opportunity in establishing the Master of Design Program at IIIT D&M Jabalpur (A Govt. of India Institution). A National Committee constituted by the Institute reviewed the curriculum and approved to begin the new Program. In a recent initiative I have established collaboration with the Institute of Ergonomics, Darmstadt Technical University, Darmstadt, Germany with IIIT D&M Jabalpur. First exchange of students between Darmstadt TU (3 German students) and IIIT D&M Jabalpur (3 IIITDM M. Des Students) has completed in Dec.2009-Jan. 2011 academic year. I conceived the Ph. D in Design Curriculum and introduced in 2011- 2012 academic year. 2012 October invited by the Shiv Nadar University (www.snu.edu.in ) to establish the Design Department 2014 Introduced the Design Minor Program for UG Student, Shiv Nadar University, India2018 Introduce the Department of Design, Shiv Nadar University, Delhi
