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.
