About the Workshop
The Department of Physics and Astronomy, NIT Rourkela, is hosting a five-day Workshop on the use of “Advance Characterization Techniques in Materials Science (ACTMS-2025)” from 17th–21st November 2025. This workshop aims to provide post-graduate, Ph.D. students, postdoc, young faculties and researchers with the technical knowledge and training on various advance characterization techniques in material science research. It also gives them access to eminent scientists with expertise in this field, which will help to build a solid foundation for future material scientist. This five-day workshop, which is led by a team of experts, aims to combine lectures by eminent scientists, visual aids, and data analysis that are used to understand the underlying mechanism in the advance materials vis-à-vis its modern day applications.
