...This is because it represents the
unity and collaboration of diverse
colours. Though each colour
remains distinct, it is when they
come together harmoniously that
rainbow is formed in the sky, with its
allure and attractiveness.
When values and knowledge
become one, there cannot be a
more powerful instrument for the
welfare of humankind. Mankind
should take only what is needed
from the creation and the world
around oneself. We are standing on
the threshold of a new era wherein
material science and spirituality will
move forward hand in hand
A Journalist once asked Amma
what her favorite colour is.
Amma replied that her FAVORITE
COLOUR IS THAT OF THE
RAINBOW...

Welcome
Based in the Coimbatore campus, the office of Head -
Research and Projects, is envisioned as a platform to
encourage and enhance research among the faculty of
Amrita School of Engineering. Our faculty pool, drawn
from institutions of longstanding repute from India
and around the world, represents our biggest asset -
knowledge. Each of them has served in professional
capacities at national and international levels. Apart from
this, we augment our knowledge through a distinguished
roster of visiting faculty who share their knowledge and
help craft and organize research programs. We also
benefit from their suggestions towards our proposals and
protocols. They also play a key role in helping sources
of support towards essential projects. The department
also invites speakers and hosts conferences to augment
the knowledge on offer in our premises. It gives me great
pride to introduce this catalogue, which offers insights to
our research capabilities and areas of expertise.

Centre (AMBE)
This state-of-the-art centre was established in 2007 as a
center of excellence under the national Mission Reach
program, to develop knowledge and expertise in the field
of biomedical science and engineering, and thereafter,
to effectively utilize that knowledge in building low-cost
electronic and mechanical biomedical devices and sensors.
The first ever patent (Dual Microcontroller - Based Liquid
Infusion System awarded by the United States Patent
and Trademark office - USPTO Patent No: 8,034,019 B2)
awarded to Amrita at this center, was based on work done
on the insulin pump.
On the devices front, several devices such as a low-cost
insulin pump, X-ray digitizer, skull implants, etc. have already
been developed and many more (such as, MEMS-based
insulin pump) are in the pipeline. On the sensors front, the
center is focused on development and fabrication of a variety
of biosensors (including immunosensors) for the qualitative
and quantitative determination of biomolecules such as
glucose, cholesterol, creatinine, HbA1C, vitamins, and
DNA. The sensors are developed using nanomaterials and
are nonenzymatic, and hence exhibit very high sensitivity,
selectivity, and storage stability. Other work includes the
fabrication of a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) for cancer and for the
analysis of glucose, cholesterol, and creatinine in body fluids.
The center is ideally equipped to meet these objectives
through facilities sponsored by the Govt. of India as well as
significant grants by Amrita University, via a combination
of the following: Machining center, Electrochemistry lab,
Electronics lab, Plastics Machinery, and Measurement lab.
The center also boasts of a Class 10,000 cleanroom with a
Class 100 device-assembly area.
