About AIARS (M&D) and AIRAE
Amity Institute for Advanced Research and Studies [Materials and Devices]
With a goal to make India the global powerhouse in research and innovation, new range of technologies are required to spread from lab-to-land and mind-to-market, for the benefit of society. For that a specialized research centers is required, which acts as bridge between Universities and Industries, so that the technologies developed by universities with the help of industries can be directly utilized for the benefits of mankind. The Amity Institute of Advanced Research and Studies (Materials and Devices) [AIARS (M&D)] was established under the kind guidance and broad vision of the Founder President of the Amity Group, Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan and under the leadership of Dr. V. K. Jain.
AIARS (M&D) has been leading the way in various cutting edge areas such as Energy Generation & Storage, Photovoltaics, Solar Instrumentation Fabrication, 3rd Generation Solar Cells based on Nano-materials, Synthesis of Nano-materials, Chemical, Gas and Bio-Sensors, Organic Light Emitting Diodes, Applications of Nanotechnology in Microbiology, Water Purification and Bio-Nano & Bio-medical Technologies. The major aim of the Centre is to promote research in the area of renewable energy, advanced materials and electronic devices. The Centre’s focus is on the scientific challenges in the development of energy sector and smart electronics for the next generation of environment friendly energy sources, and sensor technology. Within the short span of 12 years, AIARS (M&D) has published more than 100 research papers in leading journals, filed more than 40 patents (with 10 Granted), transfer three technologies to Industries and many are in the process of commercialization. AIARS (M&D) is also offering the PhD programs in the thrust areas of: Materials and Devices; Nanoscience; Biosensors and MEMS & NEMS.
AIARS(M&D) / AIRAE with its dedicated team has successfully organized several international conferences and workshops such as Indo-Australian and most important 17th International Workshop on The Physics of Semiconductor Devices (IWPSD-2013), International Conference on Recent Trends in Materials and Devices (ICRTMDs – 2015, 2019), Workshop on Advanced Research on Materials and Devices - 2017 and International Conference on Efficient Solar Power Generation and Energy Harvesting (ESPGEH-2019).
Very successful International Conference in collaboration with NAM S&T Centre on “Trends in Solar Power Generation and Energy Harvesting” was organized in 2017 at Amity University, Dubai Campus.
Amity Institute of Renewable and Alternative Energy (AIRAE)
Considering the importance & wide applications of Renewable energies, Amity University established an Amity Institute of Renewable and Alternative Energy (AIRAE). The broad aim of the Institute is to generate trained manpower for national and international industrial and academic organizations in the area of Alternative and Renewable Energy. The institute has started B.Tech., M.Tech., M.Sc. and Ph.D. courses in Solar and Alternative Energy. Being the first course of its kind in the country, it was a challenging job to have undertaken. The programme comprises of conceptual knowledge of solar and other renewable energy systems.
