Research

The department constitutes highly experienced faculty who have been serving for years. It is one of the oldest department which includes a VTU and Mangalore University recognized research centres. The Chemistry division actively focuses its research activities on material science, synthetic organic chemistry, bio-inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, batteries, catalysis and polymer nanocomposites. Right now we are focused in the area of photocatalysis particularly waste water treatment, luminescent materials for display applications as well as a labeling agent to enhance latent fingerprints.
