This research has resulted in over
400 high quality publications in the last 5 years
in international journals and conference proceedings and a large number of
patents. Some of the research activities at IIT Bombay in the Nanotechnology
area are on par with some of the best institutions in the world. Because of
its efforts, IIT Bombay has recently received substantial funding from the
Department of Science & Technology (DST), Govt of India for the formation of
a Centre for Research in Nanotechnology & Science (CRNTS) on the
IIT Bombay campus.
Additionally, IIT Bombay has also been selected as one of the two
institutions in the country for setting up a 'Centre
of Excellence in Nanoelectronics' by
the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology (MCIT), Govt of
India. Significant progress has already been made in the establishment of
these centres, and the facilities created at these national centres are
