The Department of Physical Sciences has witnessed exciting growth in a short period of eight years. This brochure represents, in a nutshell, this young and vibrant department. Our mission is to contribute to the advancement of the understanding of our physical world through basic and applied research, and engage students in the excitement in the world of physics. Our Department provides a challenging, yet supportive environment, in which to pursue research and teaching goals, and we have strived to create an atmosphere of collaboration and collegiality. Research in this Department covers incredible range, encompassing phenomena spanning length scales from nanometers to megaparsecs, and time scales from attoseconds to billions of years! There is great variety in the Department, and we house many state-of-the-art research laboratories. The Department has been pro-active in running a successful teaching program, and my colleagues are seeking bright and energetic students to further strengthen and sustain the activities of the research groups, through the Integrated PhD, PhD and post-doctoral programs. Members of this Department are part of national bodies and they have received significant external funding and awards from several sponsored projects from DST, DBT and CSIR. Hope you enjoy this virtual walk through our Department
