The Center consists of three major groups.

Condensed matter physicists that lead the project have diverse Research interests ranging from magnetism and magnetic materials, to superconductivity and Josephson junctions, to ultrafast processes, strong electron-phonon systems, biological physics, nonlinearity, to metamaterials. This group consists of both theorists and experimentalists having a very good international track record and various collaborations both in Research and education. Additionally two experimentalists from Atomic Physics with compatible interests participate and contribute in the Research activities.

The Quantum Field Theory group has significant contributions in major areas of field theory, string theory, gravitation, etc.

The Applied Physics group consists of experimentalists that focus on micro and nanoelectronics and perform Research in the inhouse Micro/Nano-electronics facility that contains state of the art equipment.
