Dr. K. Ramachandran, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore service from Chennai to Puducherry is high (every 20 min.) and hence the preferred mode of transport. Rail connections ABOUT (PMSMP-2020) Dr. Ramprakash, IIT Jodhpur, Jodhpur are available via Villipuram (Chennai – Villipuram – Puducherry). The aim of the seminar on plasma modeling and simulation for material processing (PMSMP-2020) to be held during ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT REGISTRATION MARCH 23-24, 2020 is to bring together high-level experts The interested faculty members and research scholars are and young scholars to discuss the issues of modeling and The Department of Physics came into existence in June requested to complete the enclosed registration form and send computer simulation for the plasma assisted material 1987. The department offers two year M.Sc programme, it to the organsiers on or before 15.03.2020 through email processing techniques to enrich the understanding of five year integrated M.Sc programme (with specialization and by post. fundamental governing mechanism and enrich the scientific in Lasers.
