About MRM
Materials science was an early model for interdisciplinary research. Materials Science & Engineering combines Physics and Chemistry principles with various engineering disciplines to address global challenges in real-world problems. Materials such as Metals, Semiconductors, Ceramics, Polymers, Composites, and carbon allotropes make our life easier. They are the roots of industrial growth and technological changes. All the other engineering branches are highly relying on materials scientists and engineers for the development of advanced materials. Materials scientists in the last 50 years created a whole new class of materials and products for a broad range of applications. The recent development in various technologies such as eco-friendly vehicles, low-cost & long-lasting batteries, high-speed computers with compact electronic circuits, and advanced biomedical devices, is possible due to the progress made in this field
Our MRM Group consists of 11 faculty members from different disciplines with a broad area of expertise and research interests such as Inorganic ceramic materials, Electrochemical biosensors, Multiscale modeling of charge transport in molecular semiconductors, Nanomaterials for sustainable energy and environmental remediation, 3D printing, Natural fiber Composites, Magnetic materials, Water and wastewater treatment, etc. Members of the team are engaged in research in a warm collaborative environment, involving internal, external (Academic research & Industrial consultancy), and international collaborations. In addition to research activities, MRM is also offering an elective course on "Advanced Materials Science" for the engineering students at our institute
