1st International Symposium on Physics and Applications

The 1st edition of international symposium on physics and applications, 1st ISPA, was held from December 17 to 18, 2020 on Department of Physics, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS). The event was organized by the Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences and Data Analytics, ITS. In addition, the symposium is supported by Airlangga University, State University of Surabaya and National University of Singapore.

In the symposium, we invited 6 keynote speakers and 6 invited speakers from Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. The symposium has successfully obtained positive responses from researchers by collecting significant and qualified 72 papers for oral presentations that have selected from 98 abstracts received. The presenters and participants are shown in Figure 1. The all papers are included addressing the research topics of the conference including theoretical physics, laser and optoelectronics, instrumentation and acoustics, earth sciences (geophysics), bio and medical physics, and material physics.
