PRISM鈥檚 VISION AND OBJECTIVES

Vision

A research Institute in Science and Mathematics generating principles, protocol and products that provide dynamic and innovative solutions to society and the environment.

Objectives

The PRISM鈥檚 mandate is to:

  1. Foster, facilitate and strengthen interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers in the various fields of Sciences, Mathematics and allied fields;
  2. Initiate further linkages with other institutions to advance its research activities and establish strong industry-academe partnerships with local, national, and international companies;
  3. Source out grants from various national and international funding agencies to support and sustain activities;
  4. Generate patentable technologies for commercialization developed from its different research programs; and

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 缅北禁地-IIT. It is the only college where the four departments (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics & 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 was conceived and is now established as an answer to this need. 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.
