The National Institute of Technology, Warangal (NIT-W) is set to establish a terahertz technology development center. With this initiative, it is envisaged that NIT Warangal would be the first educational institution to create a center of excellence for terahertz technology in India and will soon emerge as an important global player in exploitation of terahertz science.
The technical partner of this center is M/S TeraHertz Technology, Hyderabad which works in collaboration with M/S TeraView, Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
The institute held the first incubation workshop on Trends and Challenges in Terahertz Science and Technology on December 14, 2009 to create awareness on the potential opportunities and challenges in this hitherto unexposed area of electromagnetic spectrum.
The workshop was inaugurated by Prof. Y.V. Rao, Director, NIT, Warangal who gave opening remarks on the future of Center for Terahertz Science and Technology (CTST) at NIT, Warangal.
In his address Brig. P. Ganesham, VSM (Retd) briefed on defense applications of terahertz signals. He said explosive detection is the biggest problem being faced by the modern world and there is no technology available to detect explosives like landmines and human mines. He also emphasized the point that terahertz technology would be very helpful in this area.
Prof. Dr. Ramesh Chouhan, renowned oncologist and scientist, of TeraHertz Technology spoke to the audience about the medical applications and imaging aspects.
