Research and Development ( R.&D.)
Research and Development in the Ph.D. student undergo a series of milestones generating or creating new information which will further solve problems of regional need to support the regional industry as well as MNC Company in the field of chemistry. Majority of the times, industry needs experts, who can provide a sustainable solution to the problems in a shorter period of time irrespective of your approach adopted during the Ph.D., But when it comes to a higher post in R&D, by default recruiters will be looking for people with proven R&D background, and at that time publication (quantitative) will be a parameter to evaluate the candidate's reputation in the field of expertise along with people management. Researchers and lab mates in R. &D laboratories improve the threshold on knowledge satisfaction, patience, structured way of thinking, technical writing and other associated skills to solve/face a problem in a technically matured way. Finally, the student has to disseminate the knowledge in the form of publications (journal articles, conferences, patents, and thesis) to get awarded with Ph.D. degree from an institute. R&D is to convert research understanding into revenue to the industry rather than publications. Department of Chemistry supports R.&D in under mentioned Thrust Area of Research with fully Equipped Laboratories under Experienced Mentors in the relevant field to Departmental students.
Department offers the following thrust area of Research for their Ph.D. Students.
- Medicinal Chemistry
- Heterocyclic Chemistry
- Metal Complex Synthesis
- Analytical Method Development and Validation
- Physico Chemical Parameter
- Liquid Crystal
- Nano Chemistry
- Material Science
Funding for Research and Developments.
Research and Development in the department of Chemistry id supported by Saurashtra University as well as state and central funding agencies.
