Central Scientific Instruments
Organisation (CSIO), Chandigarh organized a Science Academies' Lecture Workshop
on "Materials Engineering for Sustainable Environment and Energy
(MESEE)" today. The objective of the lecture workshop is to update and
enlighten the concepts in material physics, chemistry and engineering for
graduate, under-graduate, doctoral students and young faculty. The special
focal theme of the workshop was on application of materials for sustainable
solutions for environment (monitoring) and energy (renewable energy). This
lecture workshop has been sponsored and supported by the three National Science
Academies-IASc, INSA, and NASI. Prof. R. K. Sinha while inaugurating the
workshop said that the protection of environment and need for new sources of
clean and green energy are important areas in which CSIO is working on besides
the research in tactical areas. He said that this workshop will help in sharing
of ideas and will give a boost to research in materials for Sustainable
Environment and Energy.Among the eminent speakers who took lectures in this
workshop were Prof. Hirendra Nath Ghosh, Director, INST, Mohali, Prof. Anil
Kumar, Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, and Prof. K. K.
Bhasin, Emeritus Scientist Department of Chemistry, Panjab University. Prof.
Hirendra Nath Ghosh, Director, INST, Mohali, enlightened the audience about his
research in the area of making the solar sells more efficient and also making
the hydrogen cells more economical. Prof. R. K. Sinha, Director, CSIR-CSIO,
Chandigarh in his lecture discussed a new approach to understanding refractive
index of materials and introduced the concept of zero refractive index that can
make it possible to provide stealth coatings to avoid detection in covert
operations,Dr. Pooja, Senior Scientist, CSIR-CSIO organised this workshop and
around 150 participants from different parts of the country attended this
workshop.
