International joint doctoral program
- Team members have several ongoing joint PhD guidance with faculty in top overseas academics in the field. IITM PhD scholars have visited the research groups of the international collaborator and have immensely benefited from such
- With this CoE, this will be elevated into substantial and sustained visits both ways, especially for PhD scholars from foreign institutes to IITM and from IITM to overseas. We envisage these as forerunners to joint degree programs at the doctoral
Young International Faculty (YIF)
The members of this group have been keenly looking out for prospective YIFs and screened YIF applications. As a first step, we have discussed with our collaborators from UCL, UK, The University of Edinburgh, UK, Aarhus University, University of Hannover, University of Waterloo, Lund University, and Univ. of Freiburg who are keen to avail YIF opportunities at IIT-M with the formation of this Center. Thus, showcasing this strong group as an attractive international destination for scholars and academics will be an important step.
Joint International Master’s programs
Using the forerunning model of international Masters’ programs such as the Erasmus-Mundus in Europe, we have initiated a conversation for a joint Masters’s program with potential partner universities, including Lund University, Sweden.
Founded on the ongoing collaboration with faculty from Lund University which has a strong MS program in Microfluidics and Microtechnology, we will leverage and establish a joint master’s program with Lund University and/or any other university/institute.
Program goals: The MS Program in MNBF will be to educate and train talented young minds in the emerging field of MNBF. We will present a research-oriented education that will build capacity and enable solving challenging problems in this vibrant area.
Typical program structure and components:
This program will not only have coursework but emphasize hands-on and skill-based education with a major research component including an internationally accepted thesis. Based on the successful model at Lund University our program will blend into the global scene with a strong foundation in the form of courses – a) Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-chip Systems, b) Sensors and Measurements, c) Transducer Technology and d) Biomedical Engineering. We will emphasize research-based learning modules in – a) Lab-on-Chip Technology, b) Microfabrication, c) Microsystems and d) Nanofluidics which will be offered jointly by faculty of IITM and overseas faculty, e.g., Lund University. Cutting edge MS thesis research will be enabled in trending aspects of this science under three streams emphasizing – Interfacial microfluidics, Nanofluidics, Micro/Nano Structuring, and Lab on Chip Technology.
Each MS Thesis Research will be jointly guided by faculty on both sides. A key outcome of this exercise will be that our MS students will be ready to take up Ph.D. positions in internationally competitive labs, including our Center. They will naturally be ready for research roles in local and overseas industries.
We will initiate the work modalities during Phase I and realize the program in its entirety during Phase II.
We envisage partnering with one or more of these centers for the joint Masters’s program. Our international collaborations include the following eminent centers of research and scholarship with whom we work and interact:

Manpower development
PhD scholars & Post-docs
Colleagues in our team, mentor and guide a large pool of Ph.D./MS scholars (80 in total) and post-docs (9 in total) and project/research associates (20 in total) who will continue to actively contribute to this CoE. In phase I, since only a limited amount of funding is being available for hiring national post-doc/PhDs, we will recruit only 3 post-docs from the CoE funding.
Research scholars
- We will enroll PhD scholars through other sponsored projects that will be awarded to the CoE and also make use of the institute’s HTRA scheme for the proposed
- Phase II: with enhanced funding, we will hire at least 4 PhDs and 6 postdocs from the CoE funding, and endeavor to enroll more through other opportunities. As a Team successful in securing projects from funding agencies, we will augment our strength of PhD scholars and post-docs through sponsored
Faculty from other institutes
★ We are supporting several young and experienced colleagues from other IITs, IISER, NITs, and other government and private institutions with their research in the area of MNBF, in terms of device fabrication, characterization, and experiments. These colleagues and other faculty will greatly benefit from the proposed CoE.
★ Team members (SP and PSM) have mentored faculty in NIT Durgapur, VIT Vellore, IIT Roorkee, NIT Agartala, Jadavpur University, and NIT Sikkim, and continue to collaborate with them, as well as share facilities and research projects.
★ Besides, we have ongoing collaborations with faculty from other IITs (IIT KGP, IITG, IITP, and IITB), IMSc, IBMS, Apollo Hospitals, and other institutes who will benefit from our CoE.
★ We will encourage the participation of more faculty from other Institutes in our country as well as from abroad.
★ The research outcome from our CoE will be disseminated to students and faculty of our country through conferences/workshops held at IITM and their home institutions.
Industrial collaboration and manpower development
We are already engaged in high-quality training and mentoring of manpower with a significant number of local industries working in MNBF including Jiva Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Vidcare Innovations Pvt. Ltd., L&T Technology Services, M/S Ant Innovations, Refex Energy Ltd., and Sun Edison. From some of these industrial collaborators can be found at the end of this proposal document. Further details of Industrial Collaborations are presented in section 4 of this part of the document. Highlight: This has resulted in significant funding obtained from the Murugappa Chettiar Research Center (MCRC) for Paper Labs preincubated by Profs. Pushpavanam and Renganathan.

Social impact
Lab-to-practice in bio-medical technology (CSR funding relevant details)
Sepsis early diagnosis: We are in an advanced stage of developing a complete microfluidic platform for early diagnosis of sepsis along with industry partners – L&T Technology Services and Apollo Hospitals. This is a life-saving technology that will significantly reduce the staggering hospitalization costs. We expect in the future this technology will qualify for CSR funding.
Paper-based devices for developing economies: Paper-based devices and sensors based on microfluidics and will be developed for point of care diagnostics, on-site water monitoring, and food safety. These will help directly improve the health of the population and reduce the expenses on health caregiving rise to a more robust economy. PIs in this proposal have a proven track record in this regard and have pre-incubated a company with funding from external agencies (MCRC technologies).
Choosing socially relevant problems: Our team dedicates a significant part of our research (> 50%, at least) to solve problems that impact local society and the national needs. These are amalgamated with the objectives of this Center and define its DNA. This includes addressing challenges in healthcare, water harvesting, low-cost adulteration identification, energy generation through new technologies.
Exponential technologies to address energy needs
We propose to use a novel and breakthrough nanofluidics route to generate renewable energy in this Center based on our early research which has already led to a patent and funding from the government and industry. Blue energy or power generation using saltwater by exploiting osmotic power generators from salinity gradients. The piechart below captures the scope and need for such renewable energy generation technology in the Indian context. The national target for renewable energy is 175 GW by 2022 and 500 GW by 2030 while the current status is a mere 77 GW. This leaves immense scope for contribution and calls out for urgent action in this direction. This will replace a considerable part of the 110 billion USD energy market in India at 370 GW of power.
Capacity building
The following activities are proposed in the two Phases of the 1-5 year period of this CoE:
- In Phase I, we will hold workshops in the area of MNBF for young students, professionals, and educators at various levels for building the pool of highly skilled young professionals in this
- In Phase II, we will organize along with regular workshops, hands-on training courses at the level of Masters and PhD students; faculty development programs; and skill-development for industry
