Interdisciplinary Science Colloquium
Home Research  Interdisciplinary Science Colloquium
The colloquium provides an opportunity for doctoral research scholars, teaching faculty and visiting experts to share their research experiences with one another. It breaks down barriers of communication and helps merge traditionally distinct scientific disciplines, thereby creating new opportunities for research.
All the science departments (across campuses) of the university participate, using the videoconference facility. The topics for 2016/17 were:

SSSIHL Science Colloquium Topics 2016/17
  • Global Climate Change and Conservation Practices
  • The Earth’s Changing Atmospheric Chemistry and Its Relevance to us
  • Hybrid Structures Herald New Promises
  • Mathematics for Life-Sciences
  • Algae and their Biotechnological Applications
  • Principles of NMR Spectroscopy
  • Nuclear Science and Technologies – For Intellectual Curiosity and Wellness of the Living
  • Application of Computational Simulations in the Human Circulatory System
  • Thermoelectric Materials for Energy Sustainability
  • From Waste to Energy Factory
  • Arctic Scientific Expedition to the Vicinity of the North Pole
  • Studies on the Plant Extracts as Natural Antioxidants in Improving the Stability of Pufa–Rich Edible Oils
  • Graphene Based Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Determination of Biologically and Chemically
  • Important Molecules
  • Features of ‘SCOPUS’ (Bibliographic Database)
  • Low-Cost Biomaterials for Bioprocessing and Plasmonic Applications

By preparing students merely for answering certain questions in examinations, they are induced to concentrate only on certain portions of a subject and not the subject as a whole. There is a need for an inter-disciplinary approach so that the connection between one subject and another is properly understood.
