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.
