History
The PG and Research Department of Physics has a rich history that spans several decades. It was founded in 1971 under the leadership of Rev. Sr. Prisca, marking the beginning of a journey towards academic excellence and research advancements. In its early years, Rev. Sr. Judith and Rev. Sr. Prisca provided crucial guidance, nurturing the department and steering it towards success.
Over time, the department expanded its faculty, attracting accomplished educators. In 2013, the department made noteworthy advancements by transforming into a dedicated PG and Research Department to foster research activities and facilitate advanced studies. The department has secured numerous projects funded by prestigious national agencies such as the University Grants Commission (UGC), Department of Science and Technology (DST), and Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB).
To further enhance its educational offerings, the Department of Physics entered into the “SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES” in the academic year 2020–2021, promoting enriching experiential learning.
With more than 50 years of service, the department has 16 committed faculty members. To cater to current research trends, a Molecular Dynamics Simulation Lab with GPU workstations was developed in 2019 through a SERB-TARE grant. In 2023, an advanced Computational Lab facility was added to further enhance cutting-edge research capabilities.
