About Us

The Department of Humanities & Sciences (H&S) at IIPE has started journey along with the department of Petroleum and Chemical Engineering in 2016 aiming to form bridge between fundamental and practical knowledge. The department plays a pivotal role in the academic curriculum offering both core and elective courses for the UG (B.Tech.) and Doctoral (Ph.D.) programme. The department has been actively involved in setting up an advanced research facility that house various sophisticated equipment and characterization tools for carrying out cutting-edge research. The research focuses of H&S are Electrocatalyst, Alternative Energy Materials, Device & Sensor fabrication, Bioinformatics-Structural biology, Sparse Representation Theory, Numerical Analysis etc. The department provides a scientific platform to the young engineer and research students to fulfil their research endeavour. The faculty fraternity acts as students’ mentor, guide and nurture them to understand the balance between Life-Technology-Society and Humanity.
