Research & Innovation
Fundamental research is the essence of growing demand of technological revolutions.
Today’s demand of needs of society necessitates the scientific growth as well. We are aware that research dictates the progress. It pushes the boundaries of what we know, explores what we don’t, and taps into the potential of what can be. Research is, therefore, the key to a better tomorrow.
At the Faculty of Mathematical and Physicals Sciences, Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, fundamental research takes the centre stage. The departments of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics & Statistics thrives to grow with their multidisciplinary and collaborative approach. Scholars, researchers, students, and faculty members are encouraged to dismiss their academic blinkers and are trained to apply learnings from one discipline to another.
Faculty in the Departments of Chemistry and Physics are engaged in cutting edge research that caters to the need of Indian Defence Sector, Sensors and Energy harvesting / Storage Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, and other Fine Chemicals sector, Lighting and Displays sector, Coating materials for electroplating and paint industry.
