Department of Physics

About Department

To design programs for a broad range of students through an easily understandable and effective method that enables them to integrate the knowledge into their normal thought processes. To design a futuristic curriculum involving classic physics topics along with an introduction to state-of-the-art experimental techniques.

To equip students with analysis capabilities and problem-solving tools that can be effective in facing the challenges of a demanding economy in terms of training for competitive exams and guiding them toward novel entrepreneurships. To train students to do independent research by offering core physics courses, specialty options, and hands-on involvement in advanced research programs that familiarize students with state-of-the-art techniques and equipment.

Department insights

History

The department was started in 1965 with an intake capacity of 12 students and a specialization in spectroscopy. Prof. B. B. Laud was the pioneering head; gradually, other specializations were also started. At present, the Department is running four specializations: Solid State Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Electronics. Today, the department has a separate building on the campus, and 48 is the intake capacity. Although the specializations are the same, thrusts are on Laser Spectroscopy, Radiation Physics, Superionic Conductors, Ferrites, Nanotechnology, Time domain & frequency domain microwave spectroscopes, Biosensors, Fiber optics, Fractals, etc.

The department so far has brought in more than ₹1 Crore through projects, and to this date, more than 700 publications in reputed national and international journals have been published. Recently, the department has been supported by the FIST Programme of DST New Delhi and by various funding agencies like BRNS, DST, CSIR, UGC, etc.

Research Activities

The research activity carried out in the department flourishes as and when a particular group puts the effort of pursuing the front line research inthat particular field. Many a times the constraints like perennial funding , equipments, library facilities, unavailabilty of the technical personnel put limits. But it is creditable to the department that, inspite of all these odds and along with teaching work a quality frontline work was always preferred by the faculty members by seeking the collabration , correspondance,advice, discussion etc. from the internationaland national scientists. Help from premiur institutes in India like BARC, TIFR, NSC, SAMEER, MATSCIENCE was taken from time to time and is being continued.More than 100 candidates have been conferred Ph.D. in the department.
