Research
The pride of the Physics Department is definitely its research. A team of thirty professors and forty research students works in every major area of physics.
Various cutting edge machines and instruments are also available in the Department. As an example, there are instruments which achieve the different methods of thin film deposition. There is also a sophisticated laser/photonics lab.
