International Visits

  • Participated on invitation in the Global Nuclear Advocacy programme organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics(ICTP) at Trieste, Italy – “Increasing dangers of Nuclear weapons: How physicists can reduce the threat” during 22 October – 25 October 2023
    Follow up activity after my visit to ICTP, Italy:

    As a follow up of my visit to ICTP, Trieste, Italy, an open elective course with 5 modules was developed, under the Supervision of Dr.Juergen Altmann, Dortmund University, Germany and Dr. Stewart Prager, Princeton University, USA, to educate students on the dangers of nuclear weapons and their global threat. The course not only highlights the impact of nuclear weapons but also highlights the significant efforts by the United Nations towards arms control and global nuclear weapons reduction.
