The National Centre for Physics (NCP), Pakistan, in collaboration with COMSATS and other partner organizations, hosted the American Physical Society (APS) Satellite March Meeting on March 20, 2025, in Islamabad. The Satellite March Meeting was held as part of the APS Global Physics Summit 2025, held on March 16-21, 2025, in California, USA, which is the largest physics research conference in the world, uniting 14,000 scientific community members across all disciplines of physics.
The objective of the APS Satellite March Meeting was to enhance global scientific collaboration and promote knowledge-sharing in physics, particularly in the areas of condensed matter physics and high-energy physics.
The event comprised of four technical talks, including “Spectral Study of Two Electrons in a Silicon Quantum Dot” by Dr. Bilal Tariq (NCP); “Unveiling the Hottest Secrets of the Universe” by Dr. Shahin M. Iqbal (NCP); “High-Temperature Thermoelectric Properties of Double Perovskite Oxides” by Dr. Falak Sher (Lahore University of Management Sciences); and “Understanding Extrinsic and Intrinsic Ion Migration in Halide Perovskites using Rutherford Backscattering” by Prof. Dr. Muhammad Sultan Satti (Kohsar University Murree).
The Satellite meeting held at the National Centre for Physics was attended by over 300 researchers and scholars from various scientific organizations, research institutions and universities in Pakistan. In this regard, COMSATS Secretariat facilitated the participation of over 70 relevant scientists, researchers and students from Pakistani universities, including the COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), Riphah International University Islamabad, and University of Engineering & Technology.
The event was broadcasted live from NCP for participants from around the world including those from COMSATS Member States and Centres of Excellence.
The APS Satellite March Meeting provided a platform to the leading physicists and researchers from various institutions in order to facilitate discussions on advanced research topics and fostering international networking.
