Applied Physics is all about understanding the fundamental laws of the physical world and finding ways to apply those laws in technical solutions. Applied Physicists use scientific principles to create or improve practical devices and systems and to contribute in many other fields. A great deal of the work done by physicists is not immediately visible. But without recent breakthroughs in physics, the mobile phone and the laptop would have been power-guzzling machines that weigh a ton and lab-on-a-chip technology would still be science fiction. Applied Physics program aims to achieve the ideal balance between 'hardcore' physics and engineering. Research is spread out over five clusters, which together reflect essential real-world needs: Physics of Fluids Nanoelectronic Materials Applied Nanophotonics Soft Matter Energy Materials and Systems
