The field of Data Science (DS) has grown from a bunch of "fancy" techniques that could "also" be applied into a set of well-founded methods to solve hard problems in various fields such as engineering and technology, science, and economics. This ubiquitous applicability of Data Science/ Artificial Intelligence (DS/AI) to a wide array of problems is a direct consequence of its generality, which in turn, has been fuelled by the complementary interaction between theory and application.

The environmental sciences and sustainable engineering Centre (ESSENCE) at IIT Palakkad aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform to find ways to sustainably meet the needs of the present without compromising future generation’s ability to meet their own needs. We take inspiration from local community’s needs, sustainable development goals identified by the United Nations, and Paris Climate Agreement to focus our research efforts on ‘Enabling Responsible Development through Research in Environmental Science and Sustainable Engineering’.

The Discipline of Physics at IIT Palakkad started functioning from August 2015, and is currently engaged in teaching and research in the forefront of experimental and theoretical physics. In July 2017, the Discipline started its dedicated PhD program. The research interests and expertise of the members of the Discipline cover a wide range of areas. From August 2019, the Masters program in Physics has been initiated.
