2. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The conference aims to provide a forum for eminent academicians, technologists and young researchers to exchange their ideas on the latest development and future trends in the fields of Synthesis, Characterizations and Technological Applications of Advance Materials. Eminent persons in the respective fields share their experience and knowledge with the participants, which in turn are expected to promote research activities in these advanced materials. This conference will also provide the platform for investment and collaborations between Academia, R&D sectors and Industries. The conference will be extremely useful in the sense that it will be attended by chemists, physicists and engineers making it truly interdisciplinary research on preparation, structure and other properties in the macro to nanoscale and their application in the Bio-technology, Renewable energy, Green Energy, Photonics, electronics, and electrical engineering. The Conference will attract Business Leaders, Investors, Capitalists, Scientists and Government Officials to bring together in a common platform to exchange their expertise & experience TOPICS This conference will cover thrust areas of advance materials and technological applications • Photonic Materials and Devices • Nano-photonic Materials • Laser and LED • Photonic Crystal • Photo-detector and Sensors • Modeling, Simulation and Optimizations • Engineered Materials for Industrial Needs • Coating Materials • Display Materials • Polymer/Composites Materials • Pharma-Industry based materials • Renewable Energy Materials & Technologies • Alternative Materials • Plasmonic Solar Cell • Quantum Dot Solar Cell • Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Solar cell • Thin film/Crystalline Solar Cell • Nano-Biomaterials and its Applications • Nano-Materials in Bioscience • Bio-imaging & sensing • Biomedicine/Metallodrugs/Targeted Drug Delivery • Food preservation REGISTRATION DETAILS(DD/Cheque will be drawn in favour of “ES SEMINAR”, payable at Syndicate Bank, HIT Branch(IFSC code: SYNB 0009558; MICR Code: 721025003; A/C No. 95582200004277). • Registration fees will cover registration kit and food.
