The world is exploring various sources of energy and has successfully identified and exploited novel materials for energy creation and application. There is a big demand throughout the world for making novel materials for energy creation. The fast transformation in the world of materials for fuel cells, solar cells, batteries and photocatalysis compel us for finding and exploiting opportunities of local manufacturing and training facilities. This interdisciplinary M.Sc. program will bring chemist, physicist, and engineers under one roof to work together as teams and thus bring technical revolution to meet local energy demands.
Focus Areas
Fuel Cells, Solar cells, Batteries, Photocatalysts, Wind, Energy Materials.
