Campus WalkAbout the conference
The National Conference on Recent Developments and Evolving Trends in Plasma Science and Technology and Pre-conference Workshop on Modelling and Simulation of Industrial Plasmas is being jointly organized by Department of Physics Bharathiar University, Coimbatore and Beam Technology Development Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai in association with the Power Beam Society of India (PSI), Navi Mumbai during September 22-24, 2022 at Coimbatore.
The conference is designed to provide a forum for young researchers in the area of Plasma Science & Technology to interact with eminent plasma scientists from India and abroad as well as to present their recent research findings. The conference includes presentations by international experts in emerging frontline research areas of Plasma Physics and Plasma Technology. The scientific program of the two-day conference will consist of invited topical lectures and contributed oral and poster presentations in the following areas.
- Plasma generation & Plasma devices
- Plasma technology in nuclear industry
- Diagnostics, modelling and simulation of plasma
- Plasma applications in energy and environment
- DBD plasma for industrial applications
- Plasma CVD & Plasma coatings
- Waste treatment & Industrial applications
- Low pressure plasma and surface treatment
- Plasma for medical and agricultural applications
- Plasma ore beneficiation & Recovery of metals
The one-day pre-conference workshop consists of invited lectures and tutorial on modelling and simulation of industrial plasmas such as thermal and non-thermal plasmas for research students and young faculty.
About Bharathiar University
The Bharathiar University was established at Coimbatore by the Government of Tamilnadu in February 1982 under the Bharathiar University Act, 1981 (Act 1 of 1982). University Grants Commission (UGC) recognized Bharathiar University in 1985 for grants. The University has 39 Departments, offering 54 post-graduate programs besides offering M.Phil. and Ph.D. programs.
The University affiliates 133 colleges. The NAAC has accredited the University with an ‘A’ Grade in the third cycle assessment. Times Higher Education Young Universities World Ranking ranked BU in the range of 201 to 250. The University stands at 14 th rank under the category of University and 22 nd among the top 100 institutions in the MoE’s National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranking. In 2021, the University secured a ranking in the range of 801-1000 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
The Department of Physics in Bharathiar University traces its root as a postgraduate centre of University of Madras started in 1974 and became the Department of Physics of Bharathiar University in 1982. The government of Tamilnadu has identified this department as the “Centre of Excellence” for PG and research programs. In addition to this, the department is supported by FIST and SAP programs. The department is also benefitted under the DST-PURSE program offered to the science departments of this university.The faculty members of the department carry out research in many frontier areas, which includes experimental, theoretical and computational physics.
