Brief Introduction of the Department :
The Department of Physics was established in the year 1946 by Prof. D.R. Bhawalkar, who had studied at King’s College, the University of London under the able guidance of Nobel Laureate Sir O.W.R. Richardson. He was known as the father of Luminescence. He remained the Head of the Department of Physics until 1969. It is the pioneer teaching and research department of India. In its 75 years of old history, the department has produced scores of scholars who have won laurels for themselves at both international and national levels.
Physics is the science of nature dealing with the whole universe. It mainly involves the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. Other sciences are reliant on the concepts and techniques developed through physics. Physics extends and enhances our understanding of other disciplines, such as; agricultural, chemical, biological, environmental sciences, astrophysics and cosmology, statistics, sociology, etc. which are subjects of substantial importance to all people of the world.
The department keeps itself alive with regular academic activities like seminars, workshops, conferences. It is well equipped with advanced and sophisticated instruments and laboratories. Faculty members have liaisons with research institutions of repute in India and abroad. In the last five years, 10 Ph.D. thesis, 6 books, and 150 research papers have been published. At present, almost 10 research projects are going on.
Vision
Establish a platform for the dissemination and creation of knowledge through teaching and research in Physics at various levels. Further, it helps create a scientific society that encourages logical thinking. Physics portraits the landscape of life and this department looks forward to exploring the physics lying beneath our observations.
