I ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES 7 Research Guidance Spectroscopy is one of the pioneering fields of research and finds applications in all branches of science. With the sophistication in instrumentation due to improvement in technology and availability of efficient data analysis software, spectroscopy has become an indispensable tool and the results are applied in all fields of science far and wide be it in physics, chemistry, biology, pharmaceutical sciences, medicine, forensic science, nano science and so on and so forth. I am associated with this wonderful field of Spectroscopy for the past thirty five years. I am guiding students since 1991 ever since the Dept. of Physics, Pachaiyappa’s College has been upgraded as Research Department. I have so far guided 61 students for their Ph.D. Degrees and some more students are pursuing their research under my guidance. I have also guided more than 160 students for their M.Phil. Degree.
