Congratulations to Dr. P. A. Amalraj on Securing the India\u2013Sri Lanka Joint Research Grant 2024!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

We are proud to share that Dr. P. A. Amalraj, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Jaffna, has been selected for funding under the India\u2013Sri Lanka Joint Research Programme 2024.<\/span>
Project Title:\u00a0Explorative, Economic, and Efficient Perovskite Based Energy Harvesting Devices<\/span><\/p>

Research Team<\/span>
The project is led by\u00a0Dr. P. A. Amalraj\u00a0as Principal Investigator, with\u00a0Prof. M. Thanihaichelvan, Department of Physics, University of Jaffna, serving as Co-Investigator. The project is being carried out in collaboration with\u00a0Dr. Murali Banavoth, Associate Professor\u00a0of the\u00a0School of Chemistry, University of Hyderabad, India and Prof. Soma Venugopal Rao, Professor, ARCHEM, University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad, India.<\/span><\/p>

Total Funding Awarded<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

  • LKR 6.42 million<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Ministry of Science and Technology, Sri Lanka<\/span><\/li>
  • INR 4.32 million (LKR 14.93 million)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Department of Science and Technology (DST), India<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Perovskite photovoltaics offer a promising alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells, owing to their low-cost processing and high potential for energy conversion efficiency. Through this collaborative project, the research team from the University of Jaffna and the University of Hyderabad will address critical challenges related to the\u00a0stability, efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness\u00a0of perovskite-based energy harvesting devices, with the aim of contributing to the development of affordable and commercially viable clean-energy technologies.<\/span><\/p>

    Beyond advancing renewable energy research, the project will provide valuable opportunities for\u00a0postgraduate research training, knowledge sharing, and technical exchange\u00a0between researchers and research institutions in Sri Lanka and India.<\/span><\/p>

    The Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University of Jaffna, warmly congratulates\u00a0Dr. P. A. Amalraj on this significant achievement and wishes the research team every success in their collaborative efforts to advance next-generation clean-energy technologies.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
