ArPS-LIRA Workshop on Laser Physics and its Applications

1 Feb 2025, 09:00 → 3 Feb 2025, 18:00 Africa/Cairo

Laser Research and Applications Institute (LIRA), Beni Suef University

Mounia Laassiri (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Shaaban Khalil (Zewail City of Science and Technology), Yasser Ahmad (ENHEP Egyptian Network of High Energy Physics (EG))

The 1st workshop on laser physics and its applications, sponsored by the Arab Physics Society (ArPs) and the Laser Research and Applications Institute (LIRA), Beni Suef University, will take place from February 1–3, 2025. By performing some practical experiments on the fundamentals of lasers and their applications in various fields, learning from the positive and negative experimental results, and comprehending and interpreting their results, the workshop seeks to improve the knowledge and learning levels of final-year students and postgraduate students interested in studying laser physics and its applications.

برعاية كلٍّ من الجمعية العربية للفيزياء ومعهد أبحاث وتطبيقات الليزر بجامعة بني سويف، تُعقد الورشة الأولى لفيزياء الليزر وتطبيقاته خلال الفترة من 1 إلى 3 فبراير 2025. تهدف الورشة إلى رفع مستوى المعرفة والتعليم لطلاب السنوات النهائية وطلاب الدراسات العليا في مجال الليزر وتطبيقاته، وذلك من خلال إجراء بعض التجارب العملية على أساسيات الليزر وتطبيقاته في المجالات المختلفة، والتعلم من النتائج العملية الإيجابية والسلبية لهذه التجارب وفهم وتفسير نتائجها
