Colloquium on

Materials for Advanced Technologies (MAT-10)

28th Jun, 2010


MAT-10 CONCEPT:

The one day colloquium is aimed at bringing together the scientific and technical community, to share their knowledge in the recent trends on the advanced materials, its applications and various computational techniques for predicting their variety of properties. Eminent persons in the respective fields share their experience and knowledge with the participants, which in turn are expected to promote research activities in these advanced materials. The colloquium will be extremely useful in the sense that it will be attended by chemists, physicists and engineers making it truly interdisciplinary research on preparation, structure and other properties in the macro to nano scale and their application in the medicine, automotive, chemical, electronics and electrical engineering. The colloquium will mainly cover all aspects relating to the material modeling techniques involved and application areas. It is decided to give the audience the best out of the colloquium and make them to initiate research activities in their parent institution. It is aimed to provide the participants a complete knowledge in the areas to be covered by the proposed colloquium and make them instrumental in pursuing quality research. This is expected to attract more number of researchers towards the scientific side and extending their findings towards the technical side. World has experienced the semiconductor revolution in the form of wonderful electronics devices in faster and cheaper communication, faster and quicker computers, entertainment devices, medical surgery, characterization and testing, sensors, photography, space exploration etc. to name a few. In recent years nanotechnology has emerged as one of the most important and exciting forefront fields in science, engineering, energy, biotechnology, chemical technology, materials etc. It shows great promise for providing us in the near future with many breakthroughs that will change the direction of technological advances in a wide range of applications. Richard Feynman, the Nobel Laureate had described in 1960, “There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom”.
