Mohammed Musthafa, Head of the Department of Chemistry, and Dr. Ajay Ajith, Guest Faculty, whose leadership and coordination played a pivotal role in the successful conduct of the event. Their efforts ensured smooth planning, academic rigor, and effective participation throughout the conference. The conference featured two distinguished invited lectures by eminent scientists from renowned institutions. Dr. V. Ganesh, Senior Principal Scientist at CSIR–Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI), Karaikudi, delivered an insightful lecture highlighting recent developments and applications in electrochemical research. His presentation offered valuable perspectives on cutting-edge research and industrial relevance. The second invited lecture was delivered by Dr. Rijeesh K, Senior Lecturer from the University of Luxembourg, who shared his expertise on advanced research methodologies and global research collaborations, inspiring participants to pursue international academic exposure. The conference witnessed enthusiastic participation, with over 60 delegates attending the event. The participants included undergraduate and postgraduate students, research scholars, and faculty members from the Department of Chemistry as well as from other institutions. The interactive sessions encouraged scholarly discussions, exchange of ideas, and networking among participants from diverse academic backgrounds. Overall, the MESKCON International Conference was a significant academic event that enriched the scientific knowledge of the participants and fostered a culture of research, innovation, and collaboration within the academic community. DAY-1 (Venue: 3- Ambedkar Hall)-Talk 1 The first invited lecture of the program was delivered by Dr. V. Ganesh, who is currently serving as a Senior Principal Scientist at CSIR–Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI). The lecture witnessed active participation from faculty members, research scholars, and undergraduate and postgraduate students from our college as well as from neighboring institutions, reflecting the wide academic interest in the theme of the session. Dr. V. Ganesh delivered an insightful lecture on the topic “Emerging Global Issues in Energy and Healthcare Sectors: Sustainable Solutions through Electrochemistry.” In his presentation, he emphasized the growing global challenges related to energy demand, environmental sustainability, and healthcare diagnostics. He highlighted the crucial role of electrochemistry in addressing these challenges through innovative and sustainable technological solutions. Special emphasis was given to recent developments in electrochemical sensors, their design, working principles, and applications in energy storage systems, medical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring. The lecture began at 11:45 a.m. and was chaired by Dr. Mohammed Musthafa T. N., Head of the Department, who formally introduced the speaker and coordinated the session. Dr. Ganesh’s talk was well-structured and informative, blending fundamental concepts with recent research advancements and real-world applications. Following the lecture, an interactive session was conducted in which research scholars and students actively engaged with Dr. Ganesh, raising questions and discussing current research trends and career opportunities in electrochemistry. Dr. Sreenivasan K.P. Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry delivered vote of thanks to the gathering. The session concluded at 1:00 p.m., after which the gathering was dispersed for the lunch break. Overall, the lecture was highly informative and intellectually stimulating, providing valuable insights to all participants. DAY-1 (Venue: 3- Ambedkar Hall)-Talk 2 The second invited talk organized by the Research and Postgraduate Department of Chemistry was conducted in online mode. The session was handled by Dr. Rijeesh K., Senior Lecturer at the University of Luxembourg. He delivered an insightful lecture on the topic, “Mechanical Stress and Strain Sensors Based on Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer Sheets, Fibers and Paint.” The session commenced at 3:00 PM IST under the chairmanship of Dr. Mohammed Musthafa T.N., Head of the Research and Postgraduate Department of Chemistry. In his lecture, Dr. Rijeesh elaborated on the fundamentals of cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers and highlighted their unique optical and mechanical properties. He explained how these advanced materials can be engineered into sheets, fibers, and coatings to function as highly sensitive stress and strain sensors. The talk provided valuable insights into recent developments, practical applications, and future research prospects in the field of smart and responsive materials. The online session lasted for about one hour and witnessed active participation from students, research scholars, and faculty members, all of whom greatly benefited from the presentation. Following the lecture, a 15-minute interactive session was conducted, during which participants clarified their doubts and engaged in meaningful discussion with the speaker. The program concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Dr. Sreenivasan K.P., Assistant Professor, who expressed gratitude to the resource person, the chair, and all attendees. Day-2-Oral Presentation The Oral Presentation Session was scheduled on Day 2 of the conference and was conducted at CV Raman Hall. The session was chaired by Dr. Deepa K., Assistant Professor at KAHM Unity Women’s College, Manjeri. The presentations began at 11:00 AM and were carried out in a well-organized and systematic manner. A total of three oral presentations and three poster presentations were featured during the session. Each participant was allotted five minutes to present their research findings, followed by a three-minute viva voce session, during which the chair and audience members posed questions and offered constructive feedback. The time-bound format ensured concise and focused presentations while also encouraging meaningful academic interaction. The session witnessed enthusiastic participation from research scholars and postgraduate students from the department as well as from other departments. The presentations covered diverse and emerging areas of research, reflecting the scientific rigor and dedication of the participants.
