Summer fellowship - 2019
Science of Materials
6
May –
14 June
2019
The subject, “Science of Materials” deals with preparation, structure
and properties of materials. It grew out of an amalgam of the subjects like
chemistry, physics and metallurgy, and the rich variety of materials’
properties cannot be understood within the context of any single classical
discipline. With a basic understanding of the origins of properties, materials
can be selected or designed for an enormous variety of applications in, ranging
from electronics, aerospace, communications, information processing, nuclear
power, energy conversion, transportation as well as medicine.
UM-DAE Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences (CEBS) is
located on the Kalina Campus of the University of Mumbai, which has cultivated
rich culture in Science and technology, because of establishment of excellent
research and educational institutes like Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC),
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Indian Institute of Technology
Bombay (IITB) and University of Mumbai. UM-DAE CEBS is dedicated to Education
and Research on Materials, Energy and Health under the closed collaboration
with the premier institutes of this country.
A Summer
School of six weeks duration on ‘Science of Materials’ will be conducted at
UM-DAE CEBS, Mumbai, during 6 May – 14 June 2019 and
will cover different aspects of materials science. The focus will be on design
and synthesis of materials, methods of
characterization, structure and properties of materials as well as their
applications in advanced technologies. Internationally reputed distinguished
scientists in the field of physics, chemistry, metallurgy as well as biology, will deliver talks. Curriculum will include about 35
lectures on fundamentals of Materials Science, 25 invited lectures and 25
Perspective lectures as well as Practical Classes / Demonstration experiments.
Students (final UG and
first / second year PG course) and Teachers from Science and Engineering
background with an interest and appreciation for Science of Materials are
encouraged to apply.
Accommodation cost will be subsidized and a stipend of Rs.
12,500/- (students)/
