SANCTIONED GRANTS

UPES-CAMBRIDGE WORKSHOP AND SEMINAR ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: TECHNOLO-

GY AND BEYOND”, ORGANIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE ON

8TH JANUARY 2019

Dr. Abhishek Kumar Mishra (Convener), Physics Department, SoE from UPES, Dehradun and Dr. D. Joshi (University

of Cambridge, UK & Vigyan Shaala), Dr. Alexander Patto (CEO, WaterScope, UK) organized this one day event at

Bidholi campus of UPES, Dehradun.

A team of 12 delegates from University of Cambridge, UK visited the UPES on 8th Jan. 2019 and gave hands-on training

on water testing. The workshop explored two important questions central to nearly every major challenge and opportuni-

ty the world faces today – access to clean Water and Energy.

The first part of the event was in a form of workshop and focused on water, led

by a team of researchers based at the University of Cambridge, UK and Water-

Scope. The team comprised of biologists, physicists, material scientists and engi-

neers namely Dr. Alexander Patoo (CEO, WaterScope), Dr. Nalin Patel, Tian-

heng Zhao, Sammy Mahdi, Alfred Wong, and Jay Patel gave hands-on training

for water testing to our students and faculty members. The team also demonstrat-

ed assembly of a 3D printed OpenFlexure Microscope, which is a 3D printable

microscope, including a precise mechanical stage to move the sample and focus the optics that can be operated by a

Raspberry Pi. This microscope has proved to be a very useful tool for diagnosing diseases and a very useful teaching aid

with communities in Africa.

The second session was based on Energy and Energy policies, where Mr. Priyank

Hirani from University of Chicago, USA and Dr. Vijay from Cambridge Display

Technology discussed work on Energy Research. Mr. Saurabh Tripathi from

Council on Energy, Environment and Water, New Delhi discussed work on na-

tional roadmap for clean cooking energy for India and analyzing the data on

household energy access from six states in India with our Management and Law

students and faculty members at Kandoli Campus.

Name of the Event: International Conference on Advances in Nano-

materials and Devices for Energy and Environment “ICAN-2019”

Organized by: ABV-IIITM, Gwalior, 27-29 Jan, 2019.

Title: Materials for Energy and Environment: Computational Solutions.

CO2 hydrogenation to useful chemical products such as formic acid and methanol is of great interest and we re-

cently found Cu2O as a suitable catalyst for CO2 conversion to formate and formic acid under mild conditions.

We used DFT+U methodology to investigate CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid and fuels formation on copper

oxide. Different routes have been investigated towards formic acid formation and results show that carboxyl inter-

mediate is more favourable compared to formate intermediate on CuO(111), which is contrast to hydrogenation

on Cu2O(111) surface, where formate

route was found to be energetically fa-

voured.

Commercial CO2 capture technology that

exists today is very expensive and energy

intensive. BxCyNz samples can be easily

synthesized from ordinary inexpensive

starting materials viz. boric acid, activated

charcoal and urea. In collaboration with

experimental group of Prof. C. N. R. Rao

at JNCASR, we have explored the adsorption of CO2, CH4, and other gases on graphene and 2-dimensional BCN

and will talk about this work. The toxicity and health hazards posed by pesticides, even at very low concentra-

tions, have become large concerns for both developing and developed countries. Large surface area, reduced cyto-

toxicity, delocalized π-electrons and tunable chemical properties make graphene a perfect candidate for adsorp-

tion of chemicals to purify water. In collaboration with Prof. T. Pradeep`s research group at IIT Madras, our study

reveals that graphene can be used as an effective absorbent of pesticides and hence opens a new avenue of materi-

als for water purification.

INVITED TALK DELIVER BY DR. PIYUSH DUA, PHYSICS DEPARTMENT

Nanotechnology has been playing a leading role in our day to day life. The domain of Nanoscience and Nanotech-

nology is very vast and has applications in almost every field of Science, Engineering and Technology. The ex-

amples of real life were shared to make aware the gathering. The main focus was on Memristor, which is 4th pas-

sive element in the list of Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor.

morrow

Organized by: Bharat Institute of Technology, Meerut 8-9 September 2018.

Title: Ferromagnetism in Monatomic Chains: Spin-Dependent Bandwidth Narrowing/Broadening

The experimental realization of one-dimensional (1D) monatomic chains of transition elements has opened a new route to

study the magnetism in nanostructures in the field of condensed matter Physics. 1D chains are also being explored for vari-

ous technological application due to their unique properties. One of the unique properties is to have only one channel availa-

ble for conduction required for spintronic applica-

tions.

In 1D itinerant ferromagnets, the ferromagnetism is

driven by combined effect of band splitting and band

narrowing/broadening . As a result of it, for the sys-

tems with less than half filled band, the up spin band

gets broadened and down spin band narrowed down

and vice versa for more than half filled band systems.

We have analysed the role of band narrowing/

broadening in the magnetic and electronic properties

of low dimensional itinerant strongly correlated elec-

tronic systems, which is particularly important in 3d

transition elements.

Density functional theory and mean field results have been coupled to explain the —— phenomenon in one dimensional

monatomic chain of 3d transition elements Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni. We found that in ferromagnetic ground state

not only the band splitting but also the relative band narrowing/broadening plays a crucial role and the bandwidths of both

spins become different as a manifestation of correlated spin hopping interaction. For less than half-filled band (i.e. for Sc,

Ti, V and Cr), the up spin band broadens and the down spin band narrows down. For the (half and) more than half filled

band (i.e. for Mn, Fe, Co and Ni), the down spin band broadens and the up spin band narrows down. As a result, (in most of

the cases) only one spin channel is present for conduction, showing ferromagnetism which could be useful for spintronics

collaboration purpose

Speaker: Prof. Gonzalo Gutierrez, University of Santiago, Chile

TITLE: COMPUTER SIMULATIONS OF MATERIALS: THE CASE OF SPIN DYNAMICS

AND THE CONCEPT OF TEMPERATURE IN MAGNETIC SYSTEMS

The concept of temperature in magnetic systems is examined in terms of a generalizations of the equipartiton the-

orem. We illustrate it by studying how two spin systems in thermal contact reach equilibrium. Using the spin dy-

namics simulation method, we consider two planar arrays of classical spins governed by the Heisenberg hamilto-

nian, interacting each other through an edge. According to an expression for the temperature of the system based

on spin configuration, we are able to obtain the temperature evolution with respect to time. The spin temperature

follows an exponential behaviour, and can be modelled by the Newton cooling law, reaching a common final tem-

perature which is in complete agreement with the theoretical thermodynamic prediction. The simulation results

give new insight on the meaning of temperature for magnetic systems and provide an operational method to cal-

culate it in computer simulation.

Talk Title: Impact of Extreme Climatic Events on Agriculture in Indian State of Odisha.-Dr Narendra Dalei

Farmers of Indian state of Odisha have mainly been depending upon agriculture for their livelihood. Rice is the

staple food of Odisha and farmers cultivate paddy twice in a year depending upon availability of water and

suitability of climatic conditions. Agriculture of the state is susceptible to local extreme weather. Therefore, in

this study, effort has been made to explore the influence of global climate change on local weather in first

stage and to investigate the influence of the local weather on agriculture in Odisha in the second stage. Second-

ary data for this study were collected from the Department of Agriculture, Government of Odisha and Website

of National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

Results of regression analyses suggest that the responsiveness of rice production to actual rainfall is inelastic in

Odisha. Agriculture is being significantly affected by climate change. This study suggests introducing climate

change adaptation policy in agriculture sector in Odisha.

PhD Alumni Meet | R&D Department

You will agree that the doctoral research journey is full of emotions and depends on expected research & acceptance of results

by the Guide and finally publication in the quality Journals. UPES has awarded 196 doctoral degrees between 2007-2018 to in-

ternal, external and full time candidates including senior officials from GAIL, TATA, BPCL, CESC, HPCL, Govt. Sector and

many more. This academic journey of 5-7 years naturally creates a bonding between students and organization. The University

thought of renewing this bonding by organizing its 1st ever PhD Alumni Meet for the sustainable association with the doctoral

students.

The Meet was organised on 21st December 2018 for our doctoral alumni in New Delhi. The Meet was attended by 20 eminent

PhD Alumni of UPES. Among them were Dr RS Velmurugan (General Manager-GAIL), Dr CS Azad (Asst. General Manager-

BSNL), Dr Nilesh Kane (Business Head-TATA Power), Dr Rakesh Kulshreshtha (Ex ED-SAIL), Dr Rajesh Kumar (Dy

Director-DERC), Dr Narendra Kumar (Ex MD-IGPL), Dr Ganesh Vishwakarma (Director SAIL), Dr

Rajeev K Sharma (Head Sustainability-India Glycols Ltd) and many more.

This effort has been appreciated by one and all present at the event as an endeavour to build a productive

industry interface that would lead to a good networking platform for alumni and experts from Industry. The

interaction helped alumni to know about various opportunities that could be explored for further mutual

benefit and support in the areas of research publications, mentors, sessions and more.

The R&D department is excited about the success of this meet and looks forward to organise more such

scholars alumni get-together in the near future.

Distinct Accolades

We are excited to share that our students and faculty showcased their technological innovations at the 1st Uttarak-

hand Investors Summit held in Dehradun, Uttarakhand on 7th October, 2018. Five innovative projects created by our

students and faculty members were selected by the Government of Uttarakhand to display at the exhibition.

The projects that were showcased at the summit were, RescOp (Rescue Operation Nodes) for Post disaster manage-

ment in Uttarakhand, Para Drone, Transportation- Sleep detector, Rash Driving Monitoring System, Intelligent Pa-

trolling System for Security Agencies and Wild Life. RescOp is designed to establish a communication link between

rescue teams and trapped people post-disaster; Para drone is suitable for air-filming with any standard camera, Sleep

detector devise detects the driver’s attention span and alert in case of reduced attention level. Rash Driving Monitor-

ing System helps in alerting the authorities if the vehicle crosses the set limits of speeding, zigzag driving, sudden

acceleration and de-acceleration, stunt driving, etc by sending an alarm, hence helping in avoiding road accidents.

Intelligent Patrolling System for Security Agencies and Wild Life, provides an algorithm for the guards to follow and

increase the chance of spotting the problem. (It is worth mentioning that the ‘Sleep Detector’ has already been appre-

ciated by ‘Transportation’ department of Uttarakhand few weeks back and soon going to be under test clearance for

deployment in road buses.
