Description
Hands-On Training And Workshop On Utilization Of High End Analytical Instrument. ‘KARYASHALA’ Course Under Mission ‘Abhyaas’ Duly Sponsored by DST-SERB under Accelerate Vigyan Scheme.
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE WORKSHOP: As desired by DST-SERB ‘KARYASHALA’, the workshop is intended for the “Abhyaas” mission, under Accelerate Vigyan Scheme. The workshop incites the participants (PG students, Ph.D. research scholars, and 4th -year undergraduate students) from the universities/institutes/colleges with exposure and state-of-the-art training in various advanced research instrumentation techniques. The program provides the basic principles, sample preparation techniques, demonstration, selection of instruments with merits and demerits, and hands-on training on several advanced analytical instrumentation (microscopy, spectroscopy, electroanalytical, chromatography, deposition, calorimeter, material analyses) techniques, with data analysis using software’s available at VNIT Nagpur for the participants to build and strengthen their confidence in using high-end instruments for their research work. The week-long workshop will be an ideal platform for all those participants pursuing/intending to pursue research in diverse fields to come together, discuss, and disseminate their ideas/interests with the lead resource persons at VNIT Nagpur.
Overall, the workshop provides lectures and hands-on training on several high-end research instruments. Hands-on training on the include
➢ Electrochemical Measurements [ECM]-cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, chronoamperometry, impedance spectroscopy, charge-discharge characteristics
➢ Thin film deposition techniques: – Electron beam evaporation (EBV)/Thermal evaporation (TE)

Event Introduction
The main objective of the workshop is to provide the participants an advanced knowledge and hands[1]on training in various analytical techniques. This includes a detailed theoretical background (principles, operation, and limitations), practical training, data analysis, and a critical understanding of various state[1]of-the-art techniques they will use during their research work. The course will deliver an in-depth understanding of the several analytical techniques with the selection of an instrument for a particular analysis with its merits and demerits, relevant to their research projects.
