About this book

The year 2022 has been declared by the United Nations as the “International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development”. Sustainable development is focused on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These require the use of basic sciences. This edited book (volume 1) is a collection of twelve invited and peer-reviewed contributions from chemistry, materials science, energy applications, and artificial intelligence.

  • Contains chapters on recent research on basic sciences for sustainable development.
  • Topics include utilizing artificial intelligence, sustainable energy, developing new green synthesis techniques and much more.

Author / Editor information

Prof. Ponnadurai Ramasami, CSci, CChem, FRSC, FICCE, MMast, received his PhD in Physical Chemistry and became full Professor in 2013. He leads the Computational Chemistry Group, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science at the University of Mauritius. The research group focuses on the use of computational methods to solve chemistry and interdisciplinary problems. The group is particularly interested to collaborate with experimentalists and try to use computational methods to complement experimental research. He has already published 260 research papers in peer-reviewed journals and he has edited several books. He is the chairman of the annual Virtual Conference on Chemistry and its Applications.
