With a focus on environmental sustainability, the BioScience & Food Science Research Centre conducts cutting-edge research in bioscience and food science while providing scientific instrumentation services and consultancy to educational institutions, research organizations, and industry partners. The Centre plays a pivotal role in advancing knowledge through specialized training, workshops, and collaborative projects that address challenges in food sustainability, functional foods, precision farming, and environmental protection. Serving as an incubator for innovation, it fosters the exploration of new ideas and nurtures emerging researchers, contributing to scientific advancements that align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FOET)

Centre for Advanced Materials

Our research team is presently involved in the development of advanced ceramics with applications in biomedical and high-temperature fields. Furthermore, we are exploring energy materials suitable for fuel cells and ultracapacitors, as well as nanomaterials that have potential uses in coatings, sensing technologies, solar cells, and advancements in biomedicine. We have achieved successful synthesis of diverse types of advanced materials, including bioceramics, graphene-based materials, conducting polymers, and nanostructured metal oxides. These accomplishments have been made feasible through the adoption of cost-effective synthesis and fabrication techniques, including 3D printing, ball milling, hydrothermal processes, ultrasonication, sonochemical techniques, electrochemical methods, microwave heating, and polycondensation.
