CeNSE OVERVIEW
The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) was established in 2010 to pursue interdisciplinary research across several disciplines with a focus on nanoscale systems. Current research topics include, but are not limited to nanoelectronics, MEMS/NEMS, microfluidics, nanomaterials and devices, photonics, nano-biotechnology, solar cells, neuro-biology, quantum and neuromorphic computing, sensors, devices, thin-films, and optoelectronics.
The centre offers M.Tech and PhD programs in a wide range of areas and has close interactions with the industry. It houses a 14000 sq. ft. state-of-the art nanofabrication and clean room facility (NNFC). It also houses a comprehensive micro nano characterization facility (MNCF). Device packaging, integration and system development is supported by the Systems and Packaging Facility (S&PF). The in-house technology business incubator, INCeNSE proudly incubates 6 start-ups today, with access to the best-in-class infrastructure, labs, and mentoring support.

Message from the chair
 |
Welcome to the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering. CeNSE, as we call ourselves, is home to an exciting group of people working on a range of interdisciplinary problems, with little regard to the background we may have come from. An aeronautical engineer works on DNA sequencing and bacterial swarms. Physicists work on nanomotors that can travel through the human body, quantum sensing, liquid helium and lasers that can blast through walls. Metallurgists work on systems at the edge of chaos, engineering atomically thin materials, developing materials for e-vehicles and 5G electronics. Read more… |
