Chemistry Workshops for Building a Better Tomorrow.

Workshop on Modern Trends in Chemical Sciences organized by Department of Chemistry

Department of Chemistry organized a Workshop on Modern Trends in Chemical Sciences from 4th to 8th June, 2018 at seminar hall in block 4 of Chandigarh University. Session began with 'Advances on Supramolecular Chemistry and Its Applications' by Dr. Ashutosh Sharan Singh. He discussed firstly basic concepts of supramolecular chemistry and later he had shown applications of supramolecular chemistry in multidisciplinary area of sciences. In the second half, lab experiment were perform by him on 'Trapping of toxic mercury chloride by flexible tripodal receptor'. All delegates participate in this event and performed the experiment.Second day of the workshop was led by Dr. Atul Pratap Singh, he discussed basic concepts of sensor and why we need to use sensor in today life. In the second half, lab experiment were perform by him on 'Molecular Logic-Gate'. On the third day Dr. Harwinder Singh Sohal discussed basic of software and how to use it in order to draw any structure.Next day session started with discussion on 'Hydroconversion of liquid biomass into green fuels' by Dr. Mohd. Aslam. He deliberated basic concepts of hydro processing of non edible vegetable oils. On the last day Prof. Gurmeet Kaur shared her experience of industrial work and later four new faculty member delivered short talk on their own area of research work.

Workshop on “Synthesis of Nanoparticles and Their Applications”

Key Note Lecture on “Biological Applications of Nanoparticles” by Guest Speaker Dr. Ajay Sharma

Key Note Lecture on “Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoparticles” by Guest Speaker Dr. Vishal Mutreja

To enhance knowledge of the students, teachers and the research scholars on the emerging topic “Trends in Nanosciences” and to motivate more students into higher studies and research in the field of science. To imbibe a true spirit of learning and to enhance the scientific awareness on, American Chemical Society (ACS) student chapter at Chandigarh University, Division-Chemistry conducted (UIS) One Day Workshop on “Synthesis of Nanoparticles and Their Applications”. The event witnessed enthusiastic preparation and participation. A total of 251 students and 30 faculties from different departments participated in the event.

Short-term course on “Use of Natural Products as Corrosion Inhibitors: Electrochemical & Computational Studies”

Short-term courses can give one a competitive edge and also help develop oneself personally. No matter what stage of education/working, one must keep learning. Depending on the field, there are many skills, tools, techniques, languages that help one gain an upper hand. This is where short-term courses help. But the key is in identifying which one will place offer value rather than being just a badge or certification.

The Department of Chemistry (University Institute of Sciences) is going to organizing a short-term course based on theme “Use of Natural Products as Corrosion Inhibitors: Electrochemical & Computational Studies” by Dr. Akhil Saxena under the aegis of ACS Club on 20th March, 2021 from 11:00 AM – 12:45 PM via virtual mode.

By this activity, students will learn that short term courses are cheaper than full-time courses and many offer top-quality training, which helps one stay on top of the game. Whether they are student or a working professional, short-term courses are ideal to expand your knowledge at a pace you are comfortable with. These courses offer flexibility without disrupting your work/study-life balance. Further short-term courses can give one a competitive edge and also help develop oneself personally. These are especially useful when a working professional is stuck and doesn’t know what their next career moves are.
