Inter Department Guest Lecture on “Biomedical Applications in Nanotechnology”. Dr. R. Vijayaragavan, Head of Microbiology delivered the welcome address and continuing that Dr. B. Anirudhan, Principal Delivered the Presidential address. Following that Dr. N. Ponpandian, Professor & Head, Department of Nanoscience and Technology, Bharathiar University introduces the fundamentals of nano-scale engineering and manufacturing. Current and future applications of nanostructured materials will be reviewed with respect to their impact in commercial products and technologies. Particular emphasis will be placed in biomedical applications. The main physical forces controlling the nucleation and deposition of nanostructures will be presented allowing a better understanding of key design factors at the nano-scale. Well-established and novel synthesis/fabrication methods nanostructures will be critically discussed giving a broad overview of the state-of-the-art nanomanufacturing processes. Standard characterization methods will be elucidated using various examples.
Outcome of the Event: Students were understood the fundamental principles of nanotechnology and their application to biomedical engineering.
