| NIT Srinagar hosts expert lecture on sustainable catalysts for energy and environment | | Students, scholars and faculty engage in discussion on emerging catalytic technologies |
Srinagar, March 16 (Scoop News)-The Department of Physics at National Institute of Technology Srinagar on Monday organised an invited lecture on “Development of Sustainable Heterogeneous Catalysts for Energy and Environmental Applications” in collaboration with the Indian National Young Academy of Science (INYAS) under its outreach activity.
The lecture was delivered by noted scientist Venkata Krishnan, Professor at the School of Chemical Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi, and Associate Editor of the New Journal of Chemistry.
The programme was held at the High-Tech Lecture Hall and was attended by senior faculty members Prof. M. A. Shah, Prof. Mohd. Ikram, Dr. Vijay Kumar, Dr. Mohd. Zubair Ansari and Dr. Ravi Kumar, along with other faculty members.
It also witnessed the participation of a large number of undergraduate and postgraduate students, PhD scholars and faculty members from the Departments of Physics and Chemistry.
During his lecture, Prof. Krishnan provided deep insights into the development of sustainable heterogeneous catalysts and their growing significance in addressing global energy and environmental challenges.
He highlighted how innovative catalytic materials can play a crucial role in clean energy production, environmental remediation and green chemical processes.
Prof. Krishnan also discussed the latest research trends in catalyst design, surface chemistry and nanostructured materials, explaining how these technologies can improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental pollution.
He also encouraged young researchers to focus on interdisciplinary approaches and pursue research that contributes to sustainable technological development.
In his message, Director NIT Srinagar, Prof. Binod Kumar Kanaujia, said that the institute remains committed to promoting advanced research and academic collaboration in emerging areas of science and technology.
“Lectures by distinguished scientists not only enhance academic exposure for students but also inspire them to pursue innovative research that addresses real-world challenges related to energy and the environment,” he added.
Institute’s Registrar, Prof. Atikur Rehman, also appreciated the initiative and said that such academic engagements strengthen the research culture at the institute.
“The interaction with renowned scientists provides valuable learning opportunities for students and encourages them to explore interdisciplinary research avenues,” he said.
Earlier, Dr. Vijay Kumar, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics and coordinator of the event, delivered the welcome address and introduced the guest speaker.
Dr. Kumar, who is also a member of the Indian National Young Academy of Science (INYAS), highlighted the importance of such outreach lectures in promoting scientific engagement and exposing students and young researchers to cutting-edge developments in interdisciplinary research.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Prof. M. A. Shah, Dean Alumni and International Affairs at NIT Srinagar, who also presented a copy of his book to the guest speaker as a token of appreciation.
The programme ended with an interactive question-and-answer session, where students and scholars engaged with the speaker on various aspects of catalytic science, sustainable energy technologies and their practical applications in addressing environmental challenges.
