Annual Report for the Period of1st July 2010 – 30th June 2011
Summary:
The National Center of Excellence in Analytical Chemistry, University of Sindh, especially
during last 12 years has emerged as a strong institution of higher learning at par with other prestigious R
& D institution. The Centre has contributed significantly in raising the ranking of the University of
Sindh. Significant achievements are production of skilled manpower i.e. M.Phil and Ph.D’s, international
research publications, several national / international conferences / seminars, presentation of Plenary
Lectures in conferences at home / abroad and providing continuous services to the local industry as well
as the community. There is one ongoing internationally funded project beside three HEC, three Pakistan
Science Foundation and one Department of Agriculture, Sindh funded projects. Under faculty
development program, 1 lecturer of this Center has returned after completion of one year HEC sponsored
post-doctoral studies in Ireland.
Recently 17 faculty members and Research Fellows have been nominated as productive scientists
in Pakistan and awarded prize the Ministry of Science & Technology. Beside this 3 research scholars
have been awarded post doctoral fellowship and 5 scholars are granted fellow ship under Research
Fellowship Programme for Foreign Citizens by TUBITEK, Turkey. This Center has developed
academic linkages with Middle East Technical University, Turkey, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey,
Wake Forest University, USA, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, and University of Dhaka,
