About the Department

The Department of Physics came into existence in June 1987. The Department offers postgraduate programmes and conducts research in frontier areas of Physics and Material Science. The Department has been recognized for special funding by DST under the Fund for Improvement of Science and Technology Infrastructure (FIST-Level II) and also UGC-SAP DRS-II Programmes. The faculty members have obtained major research grants exceeding Rs 25 crores from different funding agencies such as DST, AICTE, UGC, IFCPAR, NBHM, DRDO, DAE, INSA, CSIR and NAB. The research activities have resulted in publication of more than 800 research papers in peer-reviewed journals including 9 patents. The members of the faculty are accorded with several national and international awards, fellow of the national academies, members in the national and international scientific advisory committees, referees of many national and international journals. Our faculty members are involved in collaborative research projects with leading scientists in various laboratories and also with Industries in India and abroad.

Vision:
Develop the resources to accept up the challenges of the science and society and provide a meaningful and sustainable solution encompassing the ever expanding frontiers of Physical Sciences and be a hub of knowledge seekers
Mission:
1. To provide the state of the art research facilities to push the boundaries of knowledge
2. To  provide a platform to all the stake holders, an intellectually stimulating ambience to engage in scientific value based education, and be the torch bearers through rigorous academic curriculum and adapting methodologies to appreciate the spirit of discovery and further their curiosity.
3.  To develop a scientific workforce who are driven by passion and has the capability to address the problems of mankind.

Vision and Message of Head of Department

Dr. Alok Sharan

  • Professor
We at Department of Physics have been engaging in scientific research in diverse area bordering on exploring the fundamentals as well as finding applications through interdisciplinary research. Ever since it inception we have been imparting the knowledge through its constantly updated course syllabus  to keep abreast with the international standards. Through nearly  four decades of our existence we have been able to setup the start of the research facilities in areas related to Energy Science, Plasma science and technology for Greener technologies, Nano science, Spintronics, Multi-ferroics, Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics , Computational Materials Science and Electromagnetics, Magneto-hydrodynamics, developing novel materials and compositions for electronic, photonic and magnetic applications, Astrophysics etc. Several of our colleagues through their uncompromising  approach in pursuit of research excellence have found mention and recognition in the national and international forums for their significant contribution. While others have made a mark with their innovative approach in imparting scientific training both in the teaching laboratories and classroom. The ambience in the department ensures that all the students and scholars achieve their goals and are ready for taking up the next challenge. We believe in philosophy that being a Physicist is not limited to pursing a career in Physics subject but it is a way of thinking. Once a Physicist will always remains a physicist  as the approach develop will prepare a person to address the challenges in any kind of profession they chooses later on. We welcome all those who would like to partner with us in our endeavor to use science in nation building and addressing the global challenges.
