Off late, many engineering colleges have realized the significance of industry-academia linkages as a key ingredient for the empowerment of the faculties and students as well through collaborative involvement and coordinated efforts. Trident Academy of Technology has always played a lead role through Trident Research in establishing linkage with frontline industries, institutions of repute and research organizations to provide intellectual inputs to its faculties and students both. Trident Research provides one of the best working environments to motivate faculty and students to work towards the accomplishment of the targeted R&D vision of the organization.Trident Research has developed very good research linkages with outside world through the relationships that have been developed by its senior faculty members due to their research connection and academic interactions among outside experts. Few noteworthy research linkages of senior faculty members of Trident Research are:
