Nanoscience & Technology is a rapidly progressing multidisciplinary subject covering all aspects of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering sciences. The size dependent properties of materials in the nano regime are being explored and utilized in almost all the existing technologies and/or devices to enhance their efficiencies. The course is aimed at training the students in Synthesis, Characterization and Applications of Nanomaterials in general. After this course students will be able to find a better placements in both academic/ research and industries in their own areas with a specialization in Nanoscience and Technology
Course Outline & Admission Details
Special Lecturers by experts from reputed Institutes viz., Indian Institute of Science, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre; Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, National Aerospace Laboratory etc.
Notable Achievements of the programme
Able to create awareness among the academic and general public in this emerging field of Nanoscience & nanotechnology. Able to equip students with relevant knowledge, competence, and creativity to face global challenges in the upcoming technology to fulfill the societal needs. Instrumentation & technical support to the researchers who are working in the area of nanotechnology in our university and also for other institutions. Collaboration of faculty members with IISc, NAL, BARC, NCL etc. Through this multidisciplinary course, an opportunity is provided for basic science students to get a degree in technology (M.Tech.), which is NOT possible in a purely technological Univ.
