The first ANPA e-Conference

Dear all,

One behalf of the conference organizing committee, I thank you all for your participation in the ANPA e-Conference 2018. In fact, the conference was first ever of this kind where physicists/physical scientists and research enthusiasts with a majority of the Nepali heritage had come together from around the globe to present a quality research thru the remote connection platform. I believe that this conference remains as a footprint of success in the history of our research communities. 

The primary focus of the conference was to bring all physics related research enthusiasts together in a platform under one roof to foster interaction among researchers of Nepali origin and beyond who were conducting quality research in different institutions worldwide. I hope you all enjoyed the excellent presentations that were given in important areas of physics by our invited and contributed speakers from different research institutions. I thank again to our all speakers who presented their talks, and helped to achieve the ultimate goal of this conference. 

Here I must express my gratitude to our chairs and judges who served the conference with a highest level of scientific professionalism. Further, I am delighted to express my gratitude to those generous donors whose contribution made possible to award the four best student presenters. I should take the names  of donors here; Dr. Madhav Gautam (Intel), Dr. Madhav Neupane (UCF), Dr. Dibaker Sigdel (UCLA), Dr. Nagendra Dhakal (UCF), Dr. Pashupati Dhakal (Jefferson Lab) and Dr. Shreeram Acharya (UCF). I thank them again. 

In addition to that, I should extend my gratitude to each member of the conference scientific committee, whose guidance throughout the conference became a cornerstone on resolving the problems. 

At last but not least, I cannot express in words the hard-work performed by the team of organizing committee to bring the conference to a success that we achieved. You all know that the path of organizing a conference is paved with hurdles and difficulties. Despite the hurdles and difficulties, we accomplished the mission due to an iconic example of a "Team-Work" that was shaped and contributed by each committee member. I thank each member of the organizing committee. 

I hope to have your cooperation continue in coming days.

Sincerely,

Hari P. Paudel, Ph.D
