ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:
For several years the International Symposium Series, FRONTIERS OF FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS has attracted some of the greatest Physicists in the world as also several other eminent Physicists. The broad objective of the series has been to enable scholars working in slightly different areas to meet on a single platform and exchange ideas and status reports and even dissenting views. In the past the Symposia of the series have been organized in India, Italy, France, Australia and Canada.
The areas covered have included Astronomy and Astro Physics, Particle Physics, Theoretical Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, Computational Physics and related areas.
The eminent Physicists who have delivered Special Lectures over the years, sometimes more than once, have included Nobel Laureates, Professors G.’t Hooft, S. Chu, Charles Townes, Klaus von Klitzing, Pierre de Gennes, Douglas D Osheroff, Sir Harry Kroto, Sir Tony Leggett, as also the likes of Prof. Yuval Ne’eman, Prof.J.Pati, Prof.John Ellis, Prof.Asoke Sen, Prof.A.Ashtekar and several other prominent scholars. There have also been contributed papers and posters.
The Proceedings of almost all the symposia in the series have been published by the Universities Press (Orient Longman), Kluwer Academic, Springer and the American Institute of Physics.
Increasingly over the years, sessions involving students and Physics teaching have also been included. In the past Physicists from India and other Asian countries including Japan and the Middle East, Europe, Russia, the US, South America and elsewhere have presented papers.
