He said these areas also had application in the area of quantum computing. The Vice-Chancellor said the university had established a research ecosystem. The students, researchers and teachers were taking research to new heights.

Subject expert Prof Nigel Mesan of Kent University, UK, said all streams of science complemented each other. He said it was important that students should be clear about the fundamentals of science to understand science better. It was the responsibility of educational institutions to first explain the fundamentals to the students so that if needed, the students could find employment for themselves in any industry.
