It will be a step towards strengthening national and international collaborations in the research
Hyderabad, India, December 24, 2020: Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad will be hosting an International Workshop on “Laboratory Astrophysics with Intense Laser: Particle Generation and Application” on December 7th – 8th, 2020. It is being organized by Dr. Vandana Sharma, Associate Professor, Department of Physics, IIT Hyderabad in association with the University of Oxford UK, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and Central Laser Facility
The workshop covers broadly the two topics like Intense Laser Physics – Generation and its Applications and Laboratory astrophysics with Lasers. The last date to register is November 25, 2020. Participants from different parts of the world will present results on laser particle generation, acceleration, detection and secondary emissions and their applications.
Speaking about the importance of this Conference, Dr. Vandana Sharma, Conference Coordinator and Associate Professor, Department of Physics, IIT Hyderabad said, “In addition, a different aspect of interaction of Lasers, called Laboratory Astrophysics wherein an active synergy between laboratory experiments and theoretical modelling along with astronomical observation will be presented. The workshop will be held virtually for two days and is composed of invited specialized lectures, student talks and poster presentations.”
Speakers include eminent academicians like Prof. Alex Schekochihin – University of Oxford UK, Prof. Amrita Das – IIT Delhi, Dr. Amit Lad – TIFR, Dr. Brian Reville – MPIK, Heidelberg, Germany, Dr. Charlotte Palmer – Queen’s University Belfast, UK, Dr. Hye-Sook Park – Lawrence Livermore National Lab, USA, Dr. Ram Gopal – TIFR, Prof. Robert Bingham – Rutherford Appleton Lab, UK, Dr. Sivarama Krishnan – IIT Madras and Planetary Speaker – Prof. Paul Mckenna – University of Strathclyde, UK.
The conference is likely to be attended by above 150 participants from all over the world. It is expected that this conference will lead the academia to a better understanding of this field and various successful national and international collaborations in the future.
