The supervised research by the postgraduate students in important areas of Applied Physics is also being done in collaboration with R & D Organizations like PAEC,Optics Lab. Institute of Optromics & Inmol etc. The laboratory work is backed up by state of art laboratories where students have the opportunity to perform experiments of an advanced level with the special emphasis on the applied concepts of Physics. The department has also started Ph.D programme and more than 20 students have completed their Ph.D. degree whereas fifteen are in progress.The primary aim of this Ph.D. programme is to involve the post graduate students in to those areas of Applied Physics which are important for Scientific and Technical Development in Pakistan.
