International Conference on Emerging Trends in Chemical Biology (ETCB-2025)
2025-12-08 - 2025-12-09 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Chemistry at SRM University-AP, Amaravati, is organising an International Conference on Emerging Trends in Chemical Biology. The two-day International Conference will cover key thematic areas such as:

Oligonucleotides in healthcare
Bioorganic and medicinal chemistry
AI/computational studies in structural biology and drug discovery
Development of sensors and Molecular diagnostic tools

The primary objective of the conference is to highlight the emerging themes in chemical biology, through keynote and invited lectures, young researcher sessions, poster presentations, flash talks, and networking opportunities. The conference will foster collaboration, inspire innovation, and strengthen connections among leading scientists from India and around the world.
The conference will feature eminent academicians and scientists from across the country and the world as invited speakers and keynote speakers some of who include Prof. Raghavan Varadarajan, IISC (Bengaluru), Karnataka, Prof. Harinath Chakrapani, IISER Pune, Maharashtra, Prof. Soma Venugopal Rao, University of Hyderabad, Telangana, Dr Venkata Srikanth Garikipati, Temple University, USA, Dr Syed Kaleem Ahmed, University of Southern California among others.
Their expertise will provide an insightful experience for all participants. We look forward to your active participation.

Guest Lecture on Powering Homogeneous Catalysis with Earth-Abundant Metals
2025-12-10 11:00 - 12:30 (Asia/Kolkata) | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Chemistry is organising a Department Guest Lecture by Dr Soumyadeep Chakrabortty, Max-Planck-Institute für Kohlenforschung (The Max Planck Institute for Coal Research), Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany on December 10, 2025. Dr Chakrabortty will deliver the talk on “Powering Homogeneous (Asymmetric) Catalysis with Earth-Abundant Metals”.
Abstract of the Talk
Transition metal catalyzed hydro-functionalization of alkenes and alkynes remains a cornerstone of homogeneous catalysis offering excellent economy for the synthesis of functionalized molecules. While precious-metal catalysts based on Rh, Ru, and Ir have long dominated this field, concerns regarding cost, scarcity, and residual-metal toxicity have intensified efforts toward more sustainable alternatives. This presentation will showcase sustainable base-metal catalysis for stereoselective synthesis. A cobalt catalyst enables enantioselective hydrogenation of cyclic enamides via distinct mechanistic pathways [1-3], while an iron complex [4], promotes highly selective trans-hydrostannation of terminal alkynes through a modified Chalk–Harrod mechanism. Together these studies highlight the potential of earth-abundant metals in homogeneous catalysis.
About the Speaker
Dr Soumyadeep Chakrabortty received M.S. in chemistry at IISER Mohali, India in 2019 on NHC chemistry and catalysis. He obtained his PhD at Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) Rostock, Germany and stayed as research associate at LIKAT. Currently, he is pursuing his post-doctoral research at Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (MPI-Kofo) at Mülheim a/d Ruhr. He was also awarded the DAAD Scholarship to visit Van’t Hoff Institute for Molecular Science (HIMS), University of Amsterdam (UvA) during PhD studies. His research focuses on design and application of novel ligands in transition metal catalysis for organic synthesis.

International Conference on Advances in Materials, Design and Manufacturing
2025-12-12 09:00 - 2025-12-14 17:00
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is organising an International Conference on Advances in Materials, Design and Manufacturing (ICAMDM-2025) on December 12-14, 2025.
ICAMDM-2025 aims to provide an ideal platform to delve into and expand knowledge on theoretical, numerical, and experimental developments in Mechanics, Materials, and Manufacturing by bringing together researchers, scientists, engineers, industry experts, scholars, and students.
Many researchers continue to work in the fields of Mechanics, Materials and Manufacturing with the scope of interdisciplinary/interconnected research work. This conference provides an opportunity for researchers to present their work, connect with the other scholars and publish their work in Scopus indexed proceedings.
An advanced manufacturing hands on workshop will also be held at ICAMDM-2025.

2nd International Conference on Breaking Barriers : Reimagining Centre
2025-12-17 08:00 - 2025-12-18 17:00 | SRM University-AP
Department of Literature and Languages, Easwari School of Liberal Arts, SRM University-AP, is organising Second International Conference on Breaking Barriers: Reimagining Centre – Margin Dynamics from Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Dec 17 & 18, 2025.
Breaking Barriers : Reimagining Centre – Margin Dynamics from Interdisciplinary Perspectives is an international academic conference that invites critical reflection on the enduring binaries of centre and
margin in our contemporary world. The conference seeks to interrogate how entrenched hierarchies of
power continue to influence structures of governance, identity, knowledge, and belonging. As global
socio-political shifts expose the fractures of centralized authority, from geopolitical crises and
algorithmic surveillance to gender-based violence and climate collapse, this conference asserts the
urgency of thinking from and with the margins.
KEY THEMES

Intersectionality and Multilayered Marginalization
Power and Knowledge: Epistemic Decolonization
Techno-politics and Digital Hierarchies
Borders, Migration, and Statelessness
Cultural Appropriation and the Politics of Visibility
Resistance, Solidarity, and New Social Movements
Art, Media, and Performance from the Margins
Documenting Marginalized Dialects and Language Varieties
Language Revitalization Through Digital Platforms
Code-mixed Language in Social Media and NLP
Code-switching and Multilingual Practices in Everyday Life

Dr Angshuman Kar, Professor, Burdwan University
Dr Sipra Mukherjee, Professor, West Bengal State University
Abstract Submission Deadline: October 10, 2025
