Engineering at the scale of nanometres

IIT Dharwad · ICMR-NITM · Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan
This centre operates at the frontier of materials science, where engineering meets chemistry, physics, and biology at the scale of nanometres. It exists to promote both foundational and applied research in nanotechnology, with active projects spanning water treatment, semiconductor nanotechnology, electrochemical sensors, and nanomaterial-based manufacturing applications.
The centre has hosted expert talks from international researchers including from the University of Missouri, and enabled a student exchange program with the Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan. An active Nano Club drives outreach across the student community.
Key focus: Nanomaterials synthesis, water treatment, semiconductor nanotechnology, interdisciplinary research Institutional collaborators: IIT Dharwad, ICMR-NITM, Shibaura Institute of Technology (Japan)
