- Two research papers highlight MANUU’s contribution to science
- Vice-Chancellor congratulates scholar for groundbreaking studies
Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU), Hyderabad, announced a significant academic achievement by one of its scholars. Ms. Juveria Iram, a Ph.D. scholar from the Department of Physics, has published two research papers in Scientific Reports, a prestigious open-access journal from Nature. The accomplishment marks an important milestone for MANUU’s growing presence in global scientific research.
The first paper, titled “Multiscale Structural and Crystallographic Characterisation of Pigeon Eggshells and Membranes as an Evolutionary Model for Biomimetic Applications,” was published on October 20, 2025. It presents an innovative approach to understanding how the nanostructure and crystallinity of avian eggshells are finely tuned through ecological adaptation. The research offers valuable insights into biomimetic applications, combining natural and material sciences for sustainable design principles.
The second paper, “Terahertz Time Domain Spectroscopy Technique Used for Evaluation of Thickness and Optical Cum Dielectric Properties of Table and Fertile Eggshells,” was published earlier on October 9, 2025. This study, conducted in collaboration with the University of Hyderabad, applies advanced terahertz spectroscopy techniques to analyze the physical and dielectric characteristics of eggshells.
Both studies were carried out under the supervision of Prof. Aleem Basha, Dean, School of Sciences, MANUU, and co-supervision of Dr. Kaleem Jaleeli of Nizam College (Osmania University). The research also received support from Prof. Rafeeq Abu Turab, Head, Department of Physics, MANUU.
Congratulating the scholar, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan and Registrar Prof. Ishtiaque Ahmed lauded Ms. Juveria Iram for her outstanding research that bridges physics, materials science, and biology. Faculty members and fellow research scholars from the School of Sciences joined in acknowledging her achievement.
These publications strengthen MANUU’s contribution to interdisciplinary research and align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2 & 12). They also highlight the university’s firm commitment to innovation, sustainability, and advancing scientific discovery at the national and global level.
