Welcome to Department of Physics, DBU

The Department of Physics is one of the founding departments of the university, established in 1999 E.C alongside the university’s commencement. At its inception, the department began with a small number of faculty members, most of whom held BSc degrees. Despite these modest beginnings, the department has grown significantly over the years, both in terms of human resources and academic capacity.

Today, the department is in a strong and dynamic position. It comprises more than two Associate Professors, eight Assistant Professors with PhDs, three Assistant Professors without PhDs, and five Lecturers holding MSc degrees. In addition, the department is actively engaged in developing future scholars, with two PhD candidates and one postdoctoral researcher. The academic activities are well supported by four technical staff members, including two Chief Technical Assistants and one laboratory attendant.

 The Department of Physics is characterized by a broad range of specializations, spanning theoretical physics, experimental physics, computational physics, and astrophysics. This diversity enables the department to provide comprehensive academic and research opportunities. The department also values inclusivity and gender balance, with three female lecturers holding MSc degrees, one female PhD candidate, and two female technical staff members contributing to its academic and operational strength.

 In terms of academic programs, the department currently offers two approved MSc programs in Solid State Physics and Materials Science. In addition, a PhD program in Nuclear Science and Engineering, along with an MSc program in Astronomy and Astrophysics, are under validation and are expected to commence in the coming academic year (2019 E.C).

 The vision of the Physics Program is to become a center of excellence in applied physics, research, and innovation. It aims to produce competent graduates who contribute to the development of science, environmental sustainability, and societal well-being. To realize this vision, the program is committed to delivering high-quality education that integrates theoretical knowledge with practical and computational skills, promoting research and innovation that address local and global challenges.

Overall, the program is designed to equip students with strong theoretical foundations and practical competencies in physics. With a well-structured curriculum, adequate laboratory facilities, and dedicated faculty members, the department provides a dynamic learning environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Students are encouraged to engage in research, develop problem-solving skills, and contribute meaningfully to scientific advancement and community development.

Together, the Department of Physics strives to build a strong foundation for future scientists and professionals, empowering them to make meaningful contributions to scientific advancement and societal development.
