Vol. 20 No. 2 (2026): Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and Technology
Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and Technology (KUSET) Vol. 20 No. 2 presents a collection of interdisciplinary studies, from renewable energy systems, civil infrastructure, pharmaceutical sciences, hydrology, materials innovation, demography, and geosciences. This issue highlights advancements in biomass-powered agro-drying technologies for sustainable agricultural processing, AI-driven monitoring systems for bridge foundation stability, and the quality assessment of pharmaceutical formulations and antimicrobial preparation practices. It also explores hydrological modeling under rainfall variability, emerging materials and sustainability strategies in next-generation photovoltaic technologies, and mathematical modeling of fertility indicators using Nepal’s census data. Additional contributions examine optimal statistical design for spatial regression, geological characterization of Himalayan rock masses, and the development of synthetic peak runoff hydrographs for improved watershed management.
