Background

  • The Department of Physics is at the forefront of technology of Magnetic Soft Condensed Matter. The department has state of art facilities for the development of different types of Magnetic Fluids, Characterization of Magnetic Materials and applications of Magnetic Fluids in engineering and biomedical problems. Several National and International research collaborations have been established. 
  • For the newly discovered Photon Storage Phenomena we have put up a poster and a presentation (ppt format), in addition there are two videos showing the phenomena Video1 and Video2 . Please feel free to correspond with prof RV Mehta (rvm at bhavuni dot edu) for further details.
  • A 14" Telescope controlled from a Computer has been designed and developed in association with IUCAA, Pune and installed at our campus. The telescope is used for the study of the variable stars. Recently a collaborative program with AAVSO, under NASA grant, has been established for the GRB monitoring.

 

Faculty - Experienced and highly qualified faculty of the department has brought laurels to the University by their dedicated and tireless efforts. Please click on faculty names to get details.

Distinguished Scientists - Dedication and hard work is recognised and rewarded by the top scientific organizations of the country. Professor RV Mehta, former Head of the Department, is awarded Ramanna Fellowship by DST (2006) and he also held position of Scientist Emeritus of CSIR (2003-2006) after retiring  from the University.
