The Department of Chemistry and Department of Chemical Engineering currently rank among the best in the country. Our proposal will likely result in enhancing state-of-the-art laboratories, highly skilled human resources, world-class research infrastructure and a coordinated approach by both the departments in cutting edge areas will catapult them to be among the best in the world.
The areas of focus are:-
a) Synthetic biology and Bio materials
b) Molecular materials for energy and sustainability
c) Chemical synthesis and reaction engineering
d) Theory and simulation of chemical and biological system
e) Computational chemical engineering science
f) Sustainability assessment and engineering design
Research Impact
The proposed equipment augments the infrastructural strength of the Chemistry department by updation of the old technical tools and new state-of the art facilities.
This will help in development of new lab courses and benefit all the ~ 300 B.S., M.Sc., and B.S-M.Sc. students of the department. Also, the proposed equipment will support the ~ 400 personnel (Ph.D.+postdoc+project staff) working with various faculty members of the department.
The installation of these new facilities will encourage taking up scientific projects which have global implications for e.g. sustainable development, tackling antibiotic resistance, food, water, etc.
