Girish, Keval, and Ashly from NeoSMaRT Group Win Second Prize in Physics Quiz at VIT-Vellore's National Science Day Celebrations.

Ashly presented her research work on "Optoelectronic synapse using h-BN" and won the Best Oral Presentation (Third Prize) Award at the National Conference on Functional Materials and Applications (NCFMA-2024) held during 18-19 January 2024 at Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi, India.

NeoSMaRT group members participated and volunteered for the International Conference on Functional Materials for Future Technology (IC-FMFT 2023) hosted by the Centre for Functional Materials at VIT Vellore, India from April 19-21, 2023.

• Ashly, Amrita, Keval, Meenu and Sreelakshmi participated in Poster Presentation, and also volunteered for the conference.

• Girish actively volunteered in designing and compiling the official Book of Abstracts, and served as the Master of Ceremonies for the inaugural event.

• Dr. Ramesh Thamankar served as the Chair for some technical sessions and organised the events as the Convener of the conference.

Ashly attended the 1-week training programme on R&D Equipment "Advanced Instrumentation: Theory and Practice" jointly organized by the Department of Physics, SAS, VIT, Vellore and NIT, Warangal under the DST STUTI scheme.

Ashly presented her poster titled 'Room temperature Photoluminescence in low dimensional hexagonal Boron Nitride' at the International symposium on “Advanced Microscopy and its Application in Materials Science" organised by IIT, Madras, Chennai.

Ashly's paper on "Room-Temperature Deep-UV Photoluminescence from Low-Dimensional Hexagonal Boron Nitride Prepared Using a Facile Synthesis"  co-authored with Dr. R. Thamankar is published in ACS Omega (I.F. 4.1).
