The Department of Physics and Electronics, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), established in the year 1969 has set a benchmark in quality higher education with well-equipped classrooms and experimental laboratories. Well qualified and highly experienced faculty members research in frontier areas of Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, Material Science, Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics. Materials and Energy research gives thrust in developing nanomaterials, thin films, polymer, and single crystals materials with applications in the field of solar cell, hydrogen energy, batteries, radiation shielding, biomedical, displays, optoelectronics, water purification, and photodetectors. High quality Research in Astrophysics ranges from stellar astrophysics to cosmology. Focused research includes work on X-ray astronomy, galactic astrophysics, studies on the dark universe etc.
Faculty members of the department also have obtained various external research grants from national funding organizations (viz. DST, SERB, UGC, ISRO) for setting up high-quality research infrastructures in cutting edge areas of research. .A state-of-art analytical and characterization Central Instrumentation Facility for energy and environmental research, crystal and thin film growth and Nanomaterial synthesis are available in the Department. Facilities such as X-ray diffractometers, Electron Microscopy, UV- Visible spectrometer, Fluorometer, Microwave Synthesizer Solar Simulator, and computational facilities play a major role in the exceptional research culture.
Department interacts closely with other Institutes/Universities/Organizations within India and abroad via established collaborations, associateship and MOUs. Department has high quality and high impact research papers and patents published in Scopus/ Sci Index and other prestigious journals. Activities organised like expert talks, guest lectures, international/national/regional conferences, quality improvement programs on various research and teaching themes, workshops, refresher courses, seminars, exhibitions, quiz programs, industry visits provide exposure to the frontier developments in higher education and research. The department also emphasizes skill development and value addition through certificate programmes, interdisciplinary courses and holistic education. Post graduate and under graduate students are also actively involved in the various research projects (both internal and external with national fellowship) as a part of their curriculum, ensuring a vibrant research culture.
“Department accentuates quality education with focus on research inclusive learning enabling students to find the best-suited possibilities for future careers.”
