About the Department
The National College, established in the year 1965, has been instrumental in developing pupils’ mind-sets into various streams viz., science, arts, sports, and extracurricular activities. The Department of PGStudies andResearch in Physics was started on 26th September 2012. The department has been growing rapidly with the excellent reputation of The National College and currently Bangalore University has conferred Research Centre for the department. Very committed students are joining the department in large numbers. The department was headed by Prof. H Pundareeka Bhatta since inception and it was taken over by eminent scientist
Prof. B. S. Seshadri in 2013, earlier he served as scientist at BARC and IGCAR, Kalpakkam and also retired as Science Dean at Kuvempu University. Currently the Department of P.G. Studies & Research in Physics is headed by Prof. K. T. Vasudevan, who previously worked in University of Western Sidney, Australia.The Department of Post Graduate Studies and Research in Physics consists of very young, talented band of teaching staff highly motivated to train the students of M.Sc. (Physics).
The physics department has very well-equipped laboratories, and research activities in the field of Nuclear Physics, Material Science and Non-linear Optics. It is a very conducive environment for physics learning is being established. A large number of seminars, special lectures by eminent scientists and participation in conferences are pursued. M.Sc. Students participating in conferences and presenting contributory research papers is a unique feature of this department. The physics department aspires to be one of the distinguished centres for excellence in physics learning and research. Department has Research Collaboration with Florida International University, Miami, USA, IISc Scientist Prof. T N Guru Row,
Prof. B Eraiah a distinguished scientist Bangalore University, and Prof. S. M. Shivaprasad of JNCASR.
