Hyderabad/New Delhi, October 13th 2025: Policy makers, industry experts and academicians converged at the third edition of the International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems, Power Electronics and Electric Vehicles (ICPEEV 2025) hosted by Mahindra University. They exchanged their research experiences and shared new ideas to promote their research progress during the event.
Prof Sukumar Mishra, Director, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad was the Guest of Honour at the three-day event. Other eminent keynote speakers included Dr Alberto Bosio, University of Lyon, Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology, Prof B. G. Fernandes, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay, Prof Priyadarsan Patra, Vice Chancellor, NIST University and Rajesh Kanungo, CEO, Tala Secure.
Speaking at the conference, Prof Sukumar Mishra, Director, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad said, “Cyber-physical systems, power electronics, and electric vehicles are converging to shape the next generation of intelligent and sustainable energy infrastructures. Advances in power semiconductor devices, control architectures, and embedded intelligence are enabling higher efficiency, improved reliability, and seamless integration between the physical and digital domains. These developments are driving innovations in smart mobility, grid interaction, and autonomous energy management. Conferences such as ICPEEV provide an essential platform for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and accelerate progress toward sustainable and scalable energy systems.”
“The integration of cyber-physical systems with power electronics is playing a pivotal role in driving the sustainable future of electric mobility, energy efficiency, and smart systems. ICPEEV has become a critical platform for advancing dialogue between academia, industry, and policymakers,” said Dr Yajulu Medury, Vice Chancellor, Mahindra University.
According to Dr Alberto Bosio, University of Lyon, Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology, “What makes this conference truly unique is its multi-disciplinary nature, bringing together expertise from power electronics, cyber-physical systems, embedded devices, computer engineering, and beyond. Such a platform is invaluable for fostering networking, building collaborations and creating meaningful connections across.”
At the event, Prof Priyadarsan Patra, Vice Chancellor, NIST University, delivered a session titled ‘Engineering the Future of Cyber-Physical Systems: Intelligence, Resilience, Real-Time Autonomy, and Emerging Bio-Adaptation.’ He highlighted the current landscape and future possibilities of Cyber-Physical Systems, offering insights from the perspectives of systems architects, AI engineers, and hardware designers. He also focused on how the choice of hardware architecture impacts design trustworthiness for AI algorithms.
The conference featured keynote lectures, panel discussions, and technical paper presentations by scholars and students and covered topics such as safe autonomy in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), power electronics, smart and renewable energy systems, electric vehicles and VLSI with the discussion on practical issues, challenges encountered as well as solutions adopted.
Prof Ram Vemuri, Head of Department, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mahindra University, highlighted the forward-looking vision of the conference: “In its third year, ICPEEV continues to anticipate future needs by addressing sustainability, resilience, and emerging technologies in CPS and EVs. This conference reflects Mahindra University’s long-term commitment to nurturing research and talent that can shape the next generation of mobility and energy solutions.”
Prof Bhuvaneshwari from Mahindra University’s École Centrale School of Engineering, delivered a presentation on ‘Renewable Energy Systems and Electric Vehicles,’ where she stressed on the powerful synergy between clean energy and e-mobility. She noted that the integration of renewables with electric vehicles not only advances cleaner air and energy self-reliance, but also accelerates the development of innovative, sustainable solutions to combat climate change and secure a greener future. The technical sessions were chaired by distinguished faculty from Mahindra University’s School of Engineering and Technology, who facilitated the presentation of cutting-edge research papers from scholars across the globe.
