Chandigarh, June 24
Strengthening Panjab University’s global research presence, Priyal Singhal, a doctoral researcher from the Advanced Functional Materials (AFM) Lab and the Department of Physics, Panjab University, Chandigarh, has been selected to present her research at Nano Korea 2026, one of the world’s leading conferences on nanotechnology and advanced materials. Her participation is supported by the International Travel Support (ITS) Scheme of the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), Government of India, which promotes international scientific collaboration and global visibility of Indian research.
Singhal will present her research titled “Carbon Nanostructure Applications to MEMS and Spintronics,” focusing on the integration of advanced carbon nanomaterials into next-generation micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and spintronic devices. The work aims to develop highly efficient, miniaturized, and energy-efficient electronic platforms for future sensing, computing, and data-storage technologies.
Recognised globally as a premier platform for scientific exchange and technological innovation, Nano Korea brings together leading researchers, industry experts, and technology innovators from around the world. South Korea has emerged as a global leader in semiconductors, nanotechnology, and advanced manufacturing, while recent India–Korea collaborations have further strengthened partnerships in research, innovation, and high-technology development.
Congratulating the researcher, PU Vice Chancellor Prof. Renu Vig stated, “Priyal Singhal’s selection reflects the strength of our research ecosystem and the quality of scientific work being undertaken by our scholars in frontier areas of nanoscience and advanced materials. Opportunities such as these enable our researchers to engage with leading global experts and showcase Indian innovation on international platforms.”
