27-08-2024

Vision

We aim to create an environment where faculty, students, researchers, and industrial experts can work collectively to produce smart materials with applications in various areas like automobile, aerospace, optoelectronics, sensing, actuation and biomedical. We would like to extend our research towards societal benefit by scaling up experimental protocols and collaborating with industries.  We would also like to translate our research into useful products by scaling up our research. We aim to find the right solution for the various technical challenges and educate the youth, befitting them to serve humanity through the right blend of cutting-edge technology and entrepreneurship.  

Mission

The research on smart materials emphasizes on the synthesis of organic and inorganic nanomaterials, organic OLEDs, shape-memory materials, organic fluorophores for photodynamic therapy and multi-functional polymer nanocomposites. It also includes the design and synthesis of various carbocyclic and heterocyclic organic molecules and validating them for potential material and medicinal applications. Currently, 11 PhD students are working on various topics under this TAG group
