The Scheme “Functional Materials and Simulation Techniques-2024” is intended to build human resources and knowledge capacity through open- access Science and Technology Infrastructure across the country. The “FMST – 2024” seeks to acquaint participants with diverse functional materials, including polymers, nanocomposites, electroceramics, 2D materials, metamaterials, and photonic crystals, utilized in various technological domains such as the electronics industry, sensors, renewable energy, and defense applications. This workshop offers opportunities for postgraduate and doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members engaged in these fields to deepen their understanding of functional materials. It includes practical sessions on various computational and theoretical aspects, equipping participants to analyze data effectively to characterize functional materials.
