Subthemes ofthe Conferenceinclude
Indian Academy Degree College - Autonomous, Bengaluru is pleased to invite you for a two day national conference
th th
on “Nanomaterials and Nanoelectronic Devices for Energy Applications” scheduled to be held on 28 and 29 July,
2017 in Bengaluru. The conference is being jointly organized by Department of Physics and Electronics,
IndianAcademyDegreeCollege-Autonomous(IADC-A),andIndianAssociationofPhysicsTeachers(IAPT).
Indian Academy Degree College - Autonomous is the flagship higher educational institution of Indian Academy
Group of Institutions established by Dr T Somasekhar who returned after a successful research and academic
career in US universities to establish world class educational institutions in India. Since its inception in 1994,
the College has steadily excelled in its endeavour to espouse quality and autonomy of higher education in
sciences and other disciplines. In this process, it has been accredited by NAAC with ‘A’ grade in two consecutive
cycles with a CGPA of 3.27, and also was enlisted under 2(f) & 12(B) of UGC Act, 1956. The quality of its
management is certified by TUV Rhineland with ISO 9001:2008. Finally, the status of ‘Autonomous College
underBangaloreUniversity’ isbestoweduponitby thegovernmentfromtheacademicyear2016-17.
The Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT), established by the great vision of the late professor
Dr DP Khandelwal, is a volountary orgnisation promoting the quality of physics teaching and the
competencies of physics teachers. It has over 6500 life members from 1500 organisations of India and
abroad, who include physics teachers, professors, researchers, administrators and even science
enthusiasts. The Association has established centres for experimental physics at various locations in the
country, and also conducts conventions and competitions for teachers and students. It has been
uninterruptedly publishing a monthly journal since 1984.
The two-day national conference, organized jointly by IADC-A and IAPT RC-12A, aims to bring academia and
researcherstogether on a common platform to bridge the knowledge gaps and to facilitate research collaborations.
TheconferenceisbeingheldinthepremisesofIndianAcademyDegreeCollege–Autonomous,locatedontheeasily
commutable Outer Ring Road of Bengaluru, with a view to provide an academic ambience, professional audiences
and a productive environment. We are expecting a galaxy of eminent experts from the world of nanosciences to
enlightentheenthusiasticparticipantswithinsightsdrawnfromthelatestfrontiersofthediscipline.
One of the major challenges for the present and the future science community is to meet the energy demands of
the globe. This increasing demand has opened up broad horizons for the scientists to explore the nanomaterials
with their wonderful properties. The nano devices are expected to play a key role in gifting the future with clean,
sustainable and highly efficient energy storage devices. This conference focuses to explore the novelty of
nanomaterials&nanodevicesusedinenergyharvesting,conversion, storageandutilization.
Electronic Circuits for Efficient Energy Usage.
Super Capacitors.
Nanomaterials for High Performance LEDs.
Optoelectronic Nanomaterials for Smart Displays.
High performance Solar Cells based on Hybrid Nanostructures.
Optical, Elctronic and Magnetic Nanomaterials.
Nanomaterials for Energy and Environment.
Applications of Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology.
We welcome research and review papers related to experimental, theoretical or simulation works that are
significant to the theme. It is expected to receive papers for presentation by teachers of UG and PG courses
and research scholars in various colleges, universities and research institutions across the country. The
main objective of the conference is to foster collaboration between academic and research fraternity. The
Advisory Board for the conference comprises Professors from Indian Institute of Science (IISC), Bengaluru
and Bangalore University, Bengaluru.
