Introduction
TOP
The Department of
Physics is the oldest Science Department imparting instructions at the
Postgraduate level, here at GCU. We take pride in the contributions of
Ravian Physicists towards the prosperity and national security of
Pakistan. The Departments old boys occupy positions of eminence at
national organisations of science and technology. Our scientists are on
top at prestigious organisations like the Pakistan Atomic Energy
Commission (PAEC) and the Dr. A.Q. Khan Research Laboratories. Many are
serving abroad. Our alumni have bagged 44 Civil Awards, which is the
highest number of Civil Awards won by physicists from any educational or
research institution in Pakistan. With this history of excellence, we
expect Ravian Physicists in the years to come to explore new horizons.
Facilities
TOP
 For
the success of the MPhil Programme, all necessary facilities are
provided in the Department. We have a highly qualified faculty, modern
research laboratories, an up-to- date library, Internet facility, etc.
Research
Laboratories
There are several
well-equipped research laboratories to carry out research work in Atomic
and Nuclear Physics, Solid-State Physics, Laser Physics, Plasma Physics
and Technology, Transport Phenomenon in Materials and Radiation Physics.
Dr. H.A. Khan Radiation Physics Laboratory, Material Sciences Research
Lab and Study Group are actively engaged in research work.
Research
The Department has
the following Research Groups:
-
Theoretical Plasma Physics Group
-
Experimental Plasma Physics Group
-
Polymer and Concrete Group
-

Salam Chair in
Physics
The Salam Chair in
Physics has been established in memory of Nobel Laureate, Old Ravian and
later Professor of Mathematics, Dr. Abdus Salam, to promote and enhance
research activity in Physics at GC University Lahore.
Future
Prospects
A Higher Degree in
Physics opens up new avenues of development for students. They can
become scientists, researchers, teachers, etc.
Salam
Chair
Recently, Salam Chair in Physics Has
been established in the memory of the Nobel Laureate and Ravian
Physicist Dr. Abdus Salam to promote and enhance the research activity
in Physics at GC University, Lahore. A distinguished physicist of
international repute Dr. G. Murtaza, S.l. has been appointed as the first
Salam Professor of Physics. His specialization is in Theoretical
Particle Physics & Plasma Physics.
Academic Programmes
The Department of
Physics offers BSc (Hons.) Degree Programme in Physics and Electronics,
MPhil and PhD Programmes.
