The Objective and Thrust of the Department

Major objective of all courses and programs in the Department of Physics and Applied Mathematics (DPAM) is to develop in the student the modes of thought and scientific methods related to various branches of Physics, together with the essential skills of learning and of communication.

The department aims at training students in the multi-discipline spirit of PIEAS by involving them in wide range of experimental and theoretical studies and at a sufficient depth to develop their intellectual and personal capabilities.

Currently main research and education thrust of the department is in following areas:

	Medical Physics, Neutron Dosimetry Radiation Physics
	Lasers, Quantum Optics & Applied Electronics
	Computational Physics
	Reactor Physics

These areas will grow and diversify as the faculty and students evolve the department.

Main training thrust will be to provide education in scientific methods of thoughts as detailed as possible through experimental and computational training in Physics and its relation to Technology and Engineering in all courses offered at the Department.
