The nearest airport is Mangaluru International Airport (45 km). The nearest railway stations are Udupi (40 km) and Mangaluru (50 km). Nitte is 19 km from NH-66 connecting Kochi (Kerala) and Panvel (Mumbai) and 7 km on NH-169 connecting Mangaluru and Solapur (Maharashtra).
About Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry has been playing a profound role in providing a strong basic foundation for undergraduate students. The Department is a hub of diverse research activities involving fundamental studies such as synthetic organic chemistry, polymers and nanomaterials for various applications such as corrosion, desalination, healthcare, sensors, energy and environment. The research center is funded by NDU and external national and international funding agencies (VGST, DBT, DST, UKIERI, SPARC, EU, and industries) and takes pride in delivering more than 200+ research articles in international journals of high quality and impact. We, at the Department of Chemistry, drive research and innovation to make meaningful contributions to science and society.
About CNMSE
The Centre for New Materials & Surface Engineering (CNMSE) was established in 2023 with financial support from NDU and is led by Prof. Santosh K. Tiwari. This center is equipped with cutting-edge research facilities and is dedicated to advancing research, teaching, and learning in the realm of carbon nanomaterials, with a particular focus on emerging nanosystems. Our primary objectives include developing innovative strategies for the large-scale synthesis and characterization of various new materials, notably graphite nanoplates, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon quantum dots, MXene, boron nitride, inorganic fullerenes, and their diverse derivatives.
One of our key initiatives involves exploring environmentally sustainable practices for the synthesis of nanomaterials. We are committed to utilizing readily available resources, such as biomass waste, e-waste, and industrial waste, to produce these nanomaterials cost-effectively. Our research extends to the development of polymer nanocomposites tailored for extreme environments, including applications in industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, and defense. Our interdisciplinary approach aims to create durable and high-performance materials that can withstand the rigors of demanding operational conditions.
A flagship aim at our center is the transformation of seawater into potable water using advanced nanomaterials. This endeavor aligns with our vision of addressing global challenges related to water scarcity. Through the application of nanotechnology, we strive to develop efficient and sustainable methods for converting seawater into safe drinking water.
About SPARC
The Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration (SPARC), an initiative of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, aims at improving the research ecosystem of India’s higher educational institutions by facilitating academic and research collaborations between top ranked Indian Institutions and globally ranked Foreign Institutions, through Joint Research Projects involving mobility of students and faculty. The SPARC Scheme is expected to have a major impact in providing the best international expertise to address major national problems, expose Indian academicians to the best collaborators abroad, enable international faculty to stay in India for a longer duration, provide Indian students an opportunity to work in the world class laboratories, to develop strong bilateral relationships in research, and improve the international ranking of Indian Institutions.
Conference Overview
NMCCER-2024
Conference Overview
The two-day international conference NMCCER-2024 is organized by NMAM Institute of Technology, NDU and funded by the Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration (SPARC), a Government of India initiative. The conference aims to improve the research ecosystem of India’s higher educational institutions by facilitating academic and research collaborations amongst Indian research groups with top research groups in the world. The theme of the conference is underlying the sustainable development goals towards environment and climate conservation. A fast paced research and development activity is essential to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. NMCCER-2024 is a small step in bringing forward like-minded people and experienced mentors from national and international destinations to ignite and motivate the minds of budding scholars. The conference will provide an opportunity for knowledge sharing and discussions on design and development of exciting materials and finding innovative technological solutions for addressing the current environment crisis. The deliberations include keynote addresses and invited talks by renowned scientists from India and around the world as well as oral presentations by researchers and faculty.
