In the opening session, Prof. R.K. Wusirika, Dean In-charge Academics, delivered the inaugural address. This programme featured 14 expert lecture sessions during which participants learnt about different dimensions of molecular manufacturing, such as supermolecular sensors; nanomaterial heterostructures; chemistry for development of materials; nanopharma; lab on chip and microfluidics; rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing and 3D printing; biosensors; organic electronic materials; functional nanomaterials etc.
The invited speakers of this workshop were eminent scientists and technologists from India and abroad, viz., Prof. Narinder Singh (IIT Ropar), Prof. Alakesh Manna (PEC University), Dr. Rupesh Devan (IIT, Indore), Prof. J. N. Moorthy (Director IISER Trivandrum), Dr. Ambarish Kunwar (IIT Bombay), Dr. Sanyog Jain (NIPER, Mohali), Dr. Dhananjay Bodas (Agarhkar Research Institute, Pune), Prof. Sarabjit Singh (PAU, Ludhiana), Prof. Vijay Kumar Thakur (SRUC, Scotland), Prof. S. Nagarajan (CUTN, Thiruvarur), Dr. Pankaj Thakur and Dr. Debabrata Patra (INST Mohali).
During the valedictory session, Dr. Vinod Kumar, HoD, Dept. of Chemistry, emphasized that deliberations by eminent speakers related to the focal theme of the workshop have certainly enhanced conceptual understanding related to molecular manufacturing and would encourage them to conduct quality research in this field.
While presenting the report, Dr. J.N. Babu, the programme convener, stated that around 70 faculty and research scholars from different states across the country attended and successfully completed this workshop.
