Admissions PhD programme in Physics for Academic Year 2023-24

Department of Physics, RKMVERI, Belur Main Campus is inviting applications for admission to PhD programme in Physics.

NOTE:

1. Admission notice updated on 11 May 2023.
2. Applications are continuously accepted. They will be reviewed as per the convenience of the faculty-members.

Areas of Research:

1. Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and Nano-structure Material Sciences
   • PhD Project 1: Layered Oxide Materials with Quantum Spin Liquid States
   • PhD Project 2: Exotic Properties of Novel Quantum Materials, such as High Temperature Superconductivity

   Note: The required number of students is two, with one student assigned to each project. Students will have the chance to work with internationally renowned laboratory facilities such as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxford and the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland.

2. Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics: Various aspects of ergodicity violations in quantum systems using numerical techniques such as Exact Diagonalization.
   Note: Candidates are expected to be familiar with basic and advanced condensed matter physics at the Master’s level and have a strong inclination towards numerical computation.
3. Theoretical High Energy Physics: Aspects of Quantum Gravity: Formal aspects and physical implications of quantisation of systems living in some model quantum spacetimes. Formulation of gauge theories in the framework of Noncommutative Geometry and physics of Standard model and beyond.
4. Particle Physics and Phenomenology:  Study of physics of the Standard Model and beyond, Collider Physics.
5. Physics of Brain Organization: Investigates the physical organization principles of brain structure and functions in health and how these organization principles change in different diseases using cutting-edge brain imaging technologies and novel signal modeling approaches.
