About CFM

The Centre for Functional Materials (CFM) at VIT, Vellore was established in Nov 2020. The centre prioritizes the research of national interest by highlighting new findings and discussing current trends in technologically reverent topics. Here, we explore different classes of functional materials ranging from semiconductors to polymers and molecular crystals to nanoparticles. CFM has also provided various state-of-the-art characterization facilities like optical, microhardness, gas sensing, dielectric, electrical studies, computational tools etc. The centre has gained attention due to its immense publications in the diverse fields of research in functional materials. CFM is offering a platform to connect a broad range of materials with focused research groups and support multidisciplinary research necessary for technology transfer. The Centre implements its mission via activities in research and education.

About Conference

Modern scientific and technological advancements result from collaborative efforts based on various aspects of science and engineering. One of the current forefronts of the research is invested in developing new functional materials to meet future challenges like energy, water, and health. Scientists are constantly looking for alternative approaches to address them for economic and social prosperity. For this, the exchange of ideas among scientists and researchers belonging to different streams of science, technology, and industry is necessary. In this regard, the Centre for Functional Materials at Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, is bringing up a unique opportunity for students, researchers, faculty, scientists, and experts from industries with shared interests in functional materials.
We are organizing an International Conference on Functional Materials for Future Technology from 19th to 21st April 2023, where speakers from various scientific expertise will share their knowledge and experience. As the event will be organized in a hybrid mode, we have the flexibility of inviting experts in-person and online from different areas of research all over the world. The goal of IC-FMFT 2023 is to create an opportunity for the participants to explore and collaborate on interdisciplinary subjects in physics, chemistry, material science and engineering.
