SERB Sponsored (Under Symposium & Seminar Scheme) 5 Day FDP On “Recent Trends in Engineering Nano-Materials & Nano-Technology for Optoelectronics and Memory Application” The faculty development program (FDP) was helped to enhance the knowledge on emerging nanomaterials for various fields of application such as UV & IR photodetectors, organic light-emitting diodes, perovskite solar cells, and charge blockage techniques for resistive & capacitive memory applications, etc. The discussion was improved faculty members' teaching skills and research in the field of advanced engineering materials & nanotechnologies. The five-day FDP provided a better vision of the recent trends in the field of advanced nanomaterials fabrication and the application of synthesized devices in numerous fields. This was explored various analytical instruments, device characterization (optical, structural, morphological, and electrical), and a catalyst deactivator unit for testing the efficiency of the catalyst. The program was broadly focused on dimension-based nanomaterial fabrication with a top down and bottom up approach, which was subjected to enrichment with prototypes of device application like a monochromatic detector, solar cell, and memory.

FDP carried experts in the fields of cutting edge technologies in the state-of-the-art of various multi-disciplinary fields using nanomaterials and their use with knowledge of various challenges being faced by researchers from bringing the nanomaterials from lab to real world adaptability. The goal of this course was to give academic people who are now working in this subject or plan to work in this platform to fold and provide a definite concept on diverse nanomaterials and their application in optoelectronics, biomedical, gas sensing, memory, electronic, and several other domains. The program motivated researchers to do research proposals with useful applications aiming the leading research in nanotechnology area.
