Welcome to the Department of Physics at BITS Pilani. We have faculty with interests ranging from experimental to theoretical aspects of condensed matter physics, optics, spectroscopy, image processing, field theory and quantum computation. The department is supported by UGC-DRS-SAP and DST-FIST. Apart from teaching physics courses and guiding students in their projects and theses, faculties actively engage in regular seminars and discussion forums and popular talks. Regular visits of experts and scholars from Academia and industry for technical and popular talks add to the vibrant academic culture of sharing and collaboration. The students of the Physics Club organise Physics Week as part of APOGEE (a technical festival of the institute) and those of the Astronomy club conduct periodic observation sessions.
The Department of Physics, BITS Pilani, Pilani campus shall become a leading physics department in India for scientific research as well as innovative teaching and learning, keeping pace with evolving knowledge domains. It shall emerge as an attractive destination for the excellent students and the faculties. The Department of Physics aspires to be highly ranked amongst the group of other peer institutes
The mission of the department of Physics is to provide high quality teaching and learning experience through our first degree and PhD program. The department is committed to achieve excellence in research in diverse areas of pure and applied physics. Teaching Excellence: Excellence in teaching has always been one of the main imperatives of the department. It periodically reviews and redesigns existing courses and introduces new courses and programs geared towards current research and industry. It explores new dimensions in teaching and learning and uses various platforms and methodologies. The department is always in the continuing process of strengthening the existing programs. • Research Excellence: The faculty members of the department carry out research in almost all the major areas of Physics. The department is now vigorously scaling up its research activity and giving more visibility to it. The volume of research publications in peer reviewed journals of repute and the research funding received by the department has been increasing steadily.
