From the Head of the Centre
The world of materials science is witnessing a revolution in exploring matter at the nanoscale. Nanotechnology is one of the emerging technologies of the 21st century. The field of nanotechnology requires people with a fair background in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and as well as in electrical, mechanical, metallurgy, and chemical engineering. The selection policy of the Centre revolves around the same thing to bring together people of various backgrounds to carry out interdisciplinary research activities. The faculties drawn from multiple departments associated with the Centre are engaged in various projects dedicated to nano-electronics such as nanowires, nano-medicine such as anti-bacterial, anti-cancer and imaging systems, energy applications such as new generation batteries, supercapacitors, and solar cells. The course structure of the Centre is specially designed to make the students acquainted with nanotechnology and train the students in nano-related areas with a desire to constantly up-date their knowledge to launch them into the demands of the R&D sector. Our Centre has effec-tively supported the students for internships in the best academic institutions in the past and will continue to do the same in the future. This has helped them in enhancing their professional skills as well as having access to world-class technology. The Centre has reviewed its course structure and policy from time to time to keep our students at the forefront of technology. I do confidently say that this year's batch can very well adapt to the demands of the corporate sector if the students of the batch get placement opportunities under campus recruitment. I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
About the Centre
Centre for Nanotechnology was established in December 2005 as one of the Centres of Excellence. The faculty members associated with the centre are involved in developing state-of-the-art facilities at the institute and vigorously pursuing interdisciplinary research on various current aspects of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. A wide range of sophisticated equipment related to nanotechnology has been made operational at IIC as well as at centre involving the multidisciplinary faculty of the centre. In view of the major impact of ‘Nanoscience’ in vast disciplines of Science and Technology, M.Tech. program on ‘Nanotechnology was started in 2008. This course is aimed at providing the basic knowledge to B.Tech./M.Sc. students about various concepts of nanoscale materials, their synthesis, characterization, novel properties, applications and future perspectives. This being a multidisciplinary area, a number of electives have been designed to impart-knowledge on modeling and simulation, physics, chemistry, biological and technological aspects of nanomaterials. Besides, it is providing students a practical training on advanced methods for the synthesis, characterization and elucidation of different nanostructures. This expertise could be utilized to fabricate new materials and nanodevices.
