The Pakistan Physical Society (PPS) and Forman Christian College (A Chartered University) (FCCU) jointly start a three-day International Conference on “Recent Trends in Plasma Physics” tomorrow (May 19, 2021).

About 250 persons (faculty, researchers, and postgraduate students) working in the field of Plasma Physics from all over Pakistan has registered for the Conference.

The organizer of the Conference Dr. Hassan Shah who is now at FCCU said in the three-day deliberations, 37 papers will be presented and out of these 7 keynote speakers – belonging to the USA, Germany Australia Holland Singapore UK and Belgium will present their recent findings in the field of Plasma Physics. The meeting is expected to cover theoretical, experimental, and computational Plasma Physics which will include talks on laboratory plasma space physics and astrophysical plasmas. Dr. Shah added that there was a substantial Plasma Physics community that would benefit from this meeting. He further added that in the country national conferences had all but come to halt in the past year due to COVID, thus in Pakistan this Conference is being welcomed by the Plasma Physicists and this especially true for our young researchers and Ph.D. students working different Universities across the country.
