Indian Institute of Science Education and Research - [IISER]

We investigate the inner workings of the living systems all the way from molecular to organismal to population level. We also explore how various life forms interact with their environment and how life, as we know it, may have come into being.

Be it chemical biology, materials research, nanoscience or energy science, our research programmes are connected through their core focus on understanding the chemical nature of matter.

A blend of statistics, mathematics, and computer science, the data science initiative at IISER Pune brings together researchers who apply data-driven approaches to various areas of science and humanities.

Drawing strength from geology, geophysics, and climate modeling, our researchers try to understand the natural processes that shape the Earth in space and time.

The Humanities and Social Sciences department brings to students a great breadth of understanding the world around them, imparts analytical skills, and also helps them engage more meaningfully within their cultural and individual contexts.

With strong research groups in all core areas of Mathematics, our faculty, students and postdocs are working on some very interesting math problems of recent times.

We ask and attempt to answer a range of fundamental questions about our Universe. The department has active groups engaged in research at all length scales in physics ranging from sub-atomic to cosmic scales.

The Department of Science Education (DSE) aims to explore, examine, and develop all aspects of science education such as pedagogic practices, curriculum creation, testing and assessment methods, and the philosophy and sociology of education specific to the Indian context at the school and university levels.
