The Department of Chemistry was established in 1984 as a supporting department to cater to the academic requirements of both I & II Semester B.Tech. students of Bharath Institute of Science and Technology.
The Department of Chemistry was established in 1984 as a supporting department to cater to the academic requirements of both I & II Semester B.Tech. students of Bharath Institute of Science and Technology.
The department of Chemistry located at Bharath Institute of Science and Technology (BIST), Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai provides an outstanding environment for studies in Chemistry, is among the most research active departments in BIST.
One of our key objectives is to create good quality human resource. It was established in the year 1984 to pursue teaching, research, consultancy and impart training programmes in different fields of Chemistry. Since its inception the department offers M.Phil., and Ph.D. programs. In addition, Engineering Chemistry courses for the various B.Tech., programs are being offered by the Department.
The Department of Chemistry is functioning from the inception of the college and it was established in the year 1984. There are 8 well experienced, highly qualified and dedicated teaching faculty members with doctoral degrees in different specializations in Chemistry and 4 non-teaching staff members. The department offers M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs. In addition, Engineering Chemistry courses for the various B. Tech. programs are being offered by the Department.
The faculty members in the Department are actively involved in research in thrust areas such as Nanomaterial chemistry, Heterogeneous and biocatalyst, environmental analytics, and theoretical chemistry, which are quite naturally located alongside the classic core chemistry subjects (Inorganic, organic and physical chemistry). The faculty members periodically present research papers at National /International Conferences and Seminars. They have got patents and have published many papers in the indexed journals and authored many books and book chapters. The faculty members have international research collaborations and have collectively published nearly 300 research papers in internationally reputed journals.
The department is periodically organizing Conferences/Seminars/Workshops programmes to bridge the gap between industrialists, researchers and academicians. The M.Phil., and Ph.D. Scholars are actively participating and presenting their research works in conferences/seminars. The research findings are published in the reputed journals.
The department has well equipped laboratories functioning for academic and research activities of the department.
