Hyderabad:

Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) proudly announces that Ms. Juveria Iram, a Ph.D. Scholar from the Department of Physics, has achieved a remarkable milestone with the publication of two research papers in the journal "Scientific Reports".

 The Scientific Reports is Nature’s prestigious open-access journal publishing original research from across all areas of sciences. It offers high visibility for work with open access.

 The paper “Multiscale Structural and Crystallographic Characterisation of Pigeon Eggshells and Membranes as an Evolutionary Model for Biomimetic Applications” published on October 20, 2025, presents a novel and evolutionary model explaining how the nanostructure and crystallinity of avian eggshells are finely tuned by ecological adaptation.

 Another paper “Terahertz Time Domain Spectroscopy Technique Used for Evaluation of Thickness and Optical Cum Dielectric Properties of Table and Fertile Eggshells,” published on October 9, 2025, was conducted in collaboration with the University of Hyderabad.

 The research was carried out under the supervision of Prof. Aleem Basha, Dean, School of Sciences, MANUU, and co-supervision of Dr. Kaleem Jaleeli, Nizam College (Osmania University), with the support of Prof. Rafeeq Abu Turab, Head, Department of Physics, MANUU.

 Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan, Vice-Chancellor, and Prof. Ishtiaque Ahmed, Registrar, congratulated Ms. Juveria Iram on this outstanding achievement, appreciating her contribution to interdisciplinary and sustainable scientific research. The faculty and research scholars of the School of Sciences also extended congratulations to her.

 These publications mark a major step in MANUU’s contribution to frontier scientific research aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2 & 12), reinforcing the university’s commitment to innovation and rural sustainability.
