Advanced Postgraduate Program in Nano, Bio, Info, Cogno (NBIC) Convergence Technology (APGP-NCT)

The present time in history of Science & Technology provides tremendous human growth opportunities through synergetic convergence of Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology and technologies evolving from cognitive sciences (NBIC). The convergence of diverse technologies is based on the human ability to understand and manipulate matter at nanoscale. This stimulated integration of technologies at nanoscale has aided the convergence of other technologies and sciences for the first time in human evolution. These unprecedented advances are the interfaces between previously separate fields of sciences and technologies are the transforming tools of NBIC technologies. NBIC tools provide new found capability to understand natural world, human society and scientific research as closely coupled complex and hierarchy system from cosmos to atoms. The creative application of NBIC technologies to solve great human needs will take us to a higher level of technology platform, which will make it possible for all people of the world to achieve prosperity together without depleting the natural resources to a point where human civilization in itself is a question mark.


This advanced postgraduate program has been designed to explore through research the different dimensions of NBIC convergence technologies and innovate in immature areas like Individual Sensory and Cognitive Capabilities, Brain-to-Brain Interaction, ameliorating the physical and cognitive decline that is common to the aging mind, Nuerobioelectronics, Complex Hierarchical Nanocomputers and Futuristic Nanobio Systems.
