Application invited for Short term Programme on “Characterization of Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy”

Event title: Application invited for Short term course on “Characterization of Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy”

Deadline: 4^th March 2019

Course Objectives:

Growing energy needs of the country require increased efforts on emerging materials and technologies which concentrate on energy generation, energy harvesting, energy conversion and energy storage. This workshop will provide a working knowledge of energy materials (Solar cells, Piezoelectric, Biofuels, etc.) characterization techniques and how these methods are used to characterize material properties. General concepts and specific examples will be used to illustrate how these methods are employed to characterize the materials. Participants will get advance practical knowledge of the measurement techniques along with the tools to get the most out of their instrumentation. The attendees will also acquire knowledge on each testing technique to differentiate energy materials and ultimately predict and optimize product performance. This practical workshop is geared for both experienced users that want to better understand the measurement technologies and those new to material characterizations.

Participants:

The course is designed for

• Faculty members, Scientists and Engineers in Mechanical / Production / Metallurgy / Materials / Physics / Chemistry/ Biotechnology etc
• Professionals involved in Energy sectors/ Materials / Metals industries.
• Research scholars and students in the relevant fields

Course Modules:

• Identification of materials in context to Solar cells, Piezoelectric and Biofuels, etc.
