From the Desk of the Vice Chancellor

Greetings!

As the Vice Chancellor of this premier university, I am extremely pleased to share this space to converse with all of you. The University of Madras is a post- sesquicentennial institution which has forged a glorious path for itself and has been the site for significant scientific discoveries as well as the beacon for national and regional societal transformation. It has successfully managed to hold aloft its tradition even while keeping up with the emerging trends. One reason for this is the way in which the university has kept alive its interactions with all the stakeholders.

The COVID 19 pandemic has introduced a ‘new normal’ and its impact is felt in the workings of the university as well. The students have been attending the lectures online. While online learning has the advantage of being anytime and anywhere, it has taken away the peer group interaction and peer learning which are integral aspects of the university experience. We look forward to welcoming you to the campus very soon. Meanwhile, our faculty and administration will continue to bring the best to the virtual classrooms. As students, you need to view the restrictions posed by the pandemic as a temporary deterrent. Your focus should be to gain the competencies to conduct application oriented research in order to evolve as useful citizens of our society.

Our university boasts of faculty with a high degree of knowledge and commitment to offer the best in teaching and research. Given the context of the pandemic, we need to redefine our teaching-learning processes to offer the best pedagogic experience to our students. Similarly, the post-pandemic era demands that we hone the employment potential and entrepreneurial capacity of our learners. This necessitates that we focus on sponsored research in cutting edge areas.

Our administrative staff have been the backbone of the university. While we move towards a transparent and complete e-governance model, we need more support from you. When the teaching-learning process at our university – from admission to certification -- is moving into the digital era, your skills and competencies need to keep pace.

At our university, we are gearing up for the final round of NAAC re-accreditation. This has offered us an opportunity to assess our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Challenges. Further, it has made us more determined to reiterate our quality benchmarks in teaching, research and extension activities. We are aware of this responsibility and fully prepared for it because, our university has always encouraged individual thinking within the established frameworks. This is echoed in the words of Tim Burners Lee, who initiated the World Wide Web: “We are forming cells within a global brain and we are excited that we might start to think collectively. What becomes of us still hangs crucially on how we think individually.” Let us unite to make the educational experience at the University of Madras a synergy of the best minds and best thoughts.

About the Department

Genesis

DST - IRHPA National Facility National Centre for Ultrafast Processes was established in 1997 initially as a DST-IRHPA-National facility - the first of its kind for the use of researchers in academic institutions for time resolved emission and absorption studies in the pico-second time scale. With the input of funds for separate building from the Tamilnadu Government, the centre has emerged as an advanced centre for research and the Senate of University of Madras approved the centre as a part of University of Madras and made it as an advanced Centre for Research in November - 2000. The centre has now emerged as a premier centre for Photonics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy. On completion of five years in 2002 and based on the performance, DST has extended its financial support upto 2008 for maintaining the equipment and for adding Femto up-conversion facility in the Centre. Currently the centre is focusing research in the field of Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Photonics including Photoinduced electron transfer reactions, photophysics of supramolecular systems, solvation dynamics, nanomaterials, fluorescent sensors and photochemistry in organized media. UGC –INNOVATIVE Centre The twenty first century is said to be the age of photonics. Photonics is a multi-disciplinary subject that combines advanced electronics and optical technologies. Photonic technology forms basis for the development of future technologies in telecommunications, health care, aerospace etc. Bio-photonics is the interface of photonics and biological sciences, offering tremendous prospects for optical diagnostics, light activated therapy, surgery, bio-sensing and restoration of biological functions. In India the use of photon based technologies is at a stage of infancy and a sustained effort will be required for the country to realize the full economic and social potential of such technologies. UGC –Identified this centre as “Innovative Centre” in 2004 and gives support for M.Sc Programme in “Photonics and Biophotonics”.  

Objective

 

 

 To cater the needs of Chemists, Physicists and Biologists in the area of Ultrafast Spectoscoy and promote this area of science among younger generation

  

To generate human resources in Optical Technology to meet our Nation's future  requirements in the area of  Energy, Communication and Healthcare

Mission

The Mission of NCUFP is to concentrate and develop the hi-tech instruments under a single roof and aid researchers working in the area of ultrafast processes in chemistry, physics and biology. 

Our Slogan is

Electronics Today Photonics Tomorrow

Vision

                 The vision of the centre is “Excellence in research based teaching and learning in photonics to provide skill and knowledge for independent learning”. The centre stands as a shining example of creation of an advanced research facility of multidisciplinary research in a state University which will have linkages with industry and national laboratories to create frontline technologies. 

                                                Highlights                The centre was created at the University of Madras by the Department of Science and Technology and an MOU was signed on 28th November 1997.                 The centre has mobilized research grants to the tune Rs.900 lakhs through funded projects including the DST-IRHPA 1st Phase, 2nd Phase, UGC Innovative Programme and research projects from other funding agencies –DST-SERC, DRDO, and CSIR.                 A new 1300 sq,m building was constructed at Taramani Campus with the financial support of Rs.180 lakhs from Government of Tamil Nadu, University of Madras and Department of Science and Technology. The building was inaugurated byProfessor V.S.Ramamurthy, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology on 11th October 2000.                  The research activities of the centre include electron transfer, proton transfer, solvation dynamics, nanomaterials, and supramolecular inorganic and polymeric systems, liquid crystals.                    The centre houses hi-tech laser facilities in the time resolution of nanosecond, picosecond and femtosecond to cater to the needs of Chemists, Physicists and Biologists.The centre has more than 250 users from different parts of the country.                   In-house scientists and the users of the centre have produced more than 200 publications in the high impact factor journals like, J.Am.Chem.Soc, J.Phys.Chem, Org. Lett, J.Org. Chem. Chem. Phys. Chem, Chem. Phys. Letts., Chem. Comm. etc in the last 10 years                  In-house scientists are recipients of Bhatnagar award, UGC career Award, TANSA award, CRSI Silver and Bronze medals and Fellows of Indian Academy, National Academy and National Academy of Sciences,                   The centre has initiated the M.Sc teaching programme on “Photonics and Biophotonics” from the academic year 2004-05 with the financial support from UGC-INNOVATIVE programme.
