Brief background of PRISM

The College of Science and Mathematics has been known to lead in the pursuit of internationalization both in academics and in research among the colleges of 杏吧论坛-IIT. It is the only college where the four departments (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics and Physics) have Ph. D. programs and are recognized as Centers of Excellence (Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics) and Center of Development (Physics). From 2009-2014, it has produced over 350 ISI and Scopus indexed publications from various research studies undertaken in the college. With this vigorous research climate, the need for adequate space to house state-of the art equipment and research facilities, along with the need to create a conducive academic and research environment, the PRISM is designed to house all the research laboratories of CSM. This is a move which strongly encourages collaboration between research groups to produce quality researches beneficial to both the institute and the community. PRISM members are institute faculty members who are actively doing quality researches in Science and/ or Mathematics.
