About the Centre:
At CAS we work in physics & mathematics, making advances in both fundamental as well as applied fields across multiple disciplines, laying the necessary theoretical foundations for many a practical edifice.
The Centre for Applied Sciences comprises of a group of physicists and mathematicians working in diverse fields, from nonlinear dynamics, complex systems & soft matter physics, to computational fluid dynamics & magnetohydrodynamics, to number theory & diophantine equations, to mathematical modelling & numerical simulations of thin films.
The CAS is administratively under the Dept of Electronics & Communications Engineering. We support teaching efforts in mathematics and physics courses in programs across all the departments at IIITB. We have an active, ongoing research program, taking in research scholars under the PhD program, and also interns and research students to work on various research projects.
