RISE
Research focuses on in the next-generation solid state and rechargeable and flexible battery technologies due to safety , operating temperature range, and potential high energy density in comparison to traditional liquid electrolyte-based systems.
CQuERE
Quantum computation or simulation of atomic and molecular systems will enable us to carry out extremely time-consuming calculations in a significantly lower amount of time, thereby promising future applications in topics such as drug design.
CHINTA
Neurodegenerative and Neuropsychiatric diseases are global public health threats. Absence of interdisciplinary approach is one of the main reason for failure to discover new medicines and therapies to improve the quality of life. The core research area of CHINTA focuses on this translational neuroscience from discovery to delivery.
Publications
Implementing research and publishing results in the form of scientific articles is crucial for the progress of science and technology. Scientific publications not only increases the depth of knowledge for the author(s) but more importantly results in a greater contribution of knowledge for others. TCG CREST always thrives to enrich the scientific community through publications.
