The following are the goals of the SSE Physics Lab:
1. Preparing an institutional and national platform for student-driven experimental research in physics.
2. Indigenous development of experiments for the laboratory and demonstrations for the classroom environment.
3. Training SSE students in world class experimental physics through required and optional lab courses.
4. Sharing expertise, resources and training in physics education with sister institutions and organizations in the country and the region.
Round-up: A round-up of Physlab's activities over the past five years. Written by Sabieh Anwar (January 2015).
 Final year projects for graduate and undergraduate students are available in the research group of Dr. Muhammad Sabieh Anwar. Interested candidates can contact him here. Details of the projects can be accessed by clicking this link. |
 Junaid Alam has been selected for participation in School on Hands-on-Research in Complex Systems 28 June - 10 July 2015 being held at Trieste Italy. This workshop will target graduate students and faculty of developing countries and get them introduce with hands-on research. |
 In December 2014, Physlab installed a fog monitoring station. The aim was to determine the atmospheric composition and associated meteorological conditions. Chemical analysis of the acquired data is being done recently. See details here. |
 An article on Defects induced magnetization in B-doped ZnFeO dilute magnetic semiconductors is published in Physics B. This article deals with fabrication and characterization of B-doped ZnFeO. |
 Collaborative work on electrospun fibers is now published in Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine. This work describes wound dressing matrices developed by electrospinning. See more details here. |
 The SSE has recently been equipped with scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with EDAX and e-beam lithography. |
 New opportunities have opened up in the Spin Physics Group in Physlab. If you are motivated about experimental physics with cutting-edge scientific instrumentation, please send us your resumes. Click here for details. |
 Dr. Sabieh Anwar taught Electricity and Magnetism in the Fall of 2014. This course was augmented through an array of classroom demonstrations, all of which can be easily replicated by motivated teachers. Click here for more details. |
 A demonstration is designed for electricity and magnetism course that explains how forces act on conductors inside magnetic fields. If a permanent magnet is placed near a current carrying coil, the coil moves forward or backward depending upon the polarity of the magnets. See details here. |
 A new demonstration based on Oersted's law has been designed for electricity and magnetism course. Oersted law holds for electric currents that generates magnetic fields which is an important characteristic of electromagnetism. Click here for more details. |
 An article on Analyzing combinations of circular birefringence, linear birefringence, and elliptical dichroism in magneto-optical rotators has been published in Journal of Modern optics. The article describes the underlying theory of the polarization characteristics of light emerging from a magneto-optical medium. |
 An interesting demonstration on Galton's board is made utilizing the locally available resources. Making novel and exciting demonstrations is an ongoing project of the physics lab, targeting the teaching of physics through innovative and interesting demonstrations. Click here for details. |
