Doctor of Philosophy Physics

PhD centre for Physics primarily focuses on providing world class education, training and conduct innovative research at the interface of multiple disciplines to create high quality human resource in disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas of Physics in a globally competitive research milieu. Both basic and applied research topics will be addressed. Faculty members also collaborate with scientists from National Institutes in India and abroad. Their research components further strengthens & enrich the teaching programme.

Owing to the best academic practices for the teaching programme, this department has been able to generate excellent human resources in Physics. The department has an excellent track record of research in various areas of Physics with exposure to various themes. The Faculty members have excellent records of publication in journals with high impact factors. At present, we have Ph.D. guide with expertise in Nanoscience and nanotechnology, Materials Science, Photovoltaics and Solar Cells.

Students who study physics or engineering physics are prepared to work on forefront ideas in science and technology, in academia, the government, or the private sector. Careers might focus on basic research in Atomic physics, photonics or condensed matter physics.

It also include teaching, medicine, law (especially intellectual property or patent law), science writing, history of science, philosophy of science, science policy, energy policy, government, or management in technical fields.
