Dr. Vishal Mishra from IIT (BHU) Varanasi’s School of Biochemical Engineering talked on making synthetic beads out of Pleurotus Florida biomass. He emphasised how effective these beads are at filtering out heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and chromium from wastewater while also preventing the growth of germs.

The use of Heusler alloys in environmentally friendly refrigeration and other technological areas like magnetic refrigeration, spintronics, thermoelectricity, and magnetic shape memory was investigated by Dr. Sanjay Singh from the School of Materials Science and Technology.

A thorough lecture on the synthesis and characterisation of carbon and Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) nanostructures was given by Dr. Ashish K. Mishra, also from the School of Materials Science and Technology at IIT (BHU) Varanasi. He explained how they function in electrochemical energy production and storage systems.

 

While presiding over the proceedings, Dr. Jai Prakash, the programme coordinator for INYAS’s Central Zone, gave an introduction to the occasion and described INYAS’s goals.
