About Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CNSNT)
The Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CNSNT) was established in January 2006 at the Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai campus to accomplish the goal of enhancing advanced research in the areas of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The main research focus of CNSNT lies in engineering the materials at nanoscale for plethora of applications such as energy, space, defence, healthcare, and environment sectors. Towards the global recognition of the Centre, 1000+ papers were published in peer reviewed highly reputed international journals, and 100+ international and national patents were published/granted. The CNSNT has received more than 30 crore rupees research grants from various national and international funding agencies. Since 2014, the "Centre of Excellence for Energy Research (CEER)," funded by the MHRD, Government of India, under the Frontier Areas of Science and Technology (FAST) scheme, has been successfully operating at CNSNT. The Centre also actively organizes several training and awareness programmes, workshops, national and international conferences on recent trends and developments of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology on various themes of global interests. The Centre is undertaking research & development and consultancy projects from various industries and research organizations in India aiming towards innovative products development.
