The departmental research activity has been recognized in the form of grants from the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi to Dr. S. Brahadeeswaran for his two projects in the field of Generation of Terahertz Waves using Nonlinear Optical Crystals to the tune of Rs 18.47 Lakhs and Rs 29.97 Lakhs.

Many research papers have been and are being published by the faculty members in internationally refereed journals of high repute. In addition, one international patent has been granted and two national patents have been filed. The faculty members have been reviewing papers for various international journals of high repute.
