Invited & Plenary Talks:

I have been invited at various places within India as well as outside India for the plenary/invited talk. The invited talks for the conferences are decided by the members of the international advisory committee and the local committee who have rich experience in the field. From the collaboration of large number of international scientists, only very few people get chance for the invited talk.

    1.Invited Talk
    “Spectra Analysis and Latest Results from the ALICE Experment”
    ALICE-India Collaboration Meeting, April 12-16, 2017.
    Variable Energy Cyclotron Center (VECC), Kolkata, India.
    I was invited by ALICE-India Spokesperson to give a technical talk for ALICE-India students to give them idea about the techniques of spectra analysis in ALICE and discuss the latest ALICE results on spectra.

    2.Invited Mini Review Talk
    “Review of Latest Results from RHIC”
    XXII DAE-BRNS High Energy Physics Symposium 2016, December 12-16, 2016.
    University of Delhi, Delhi.
    The DAE-BRNS High Energy Physics (HEP) Symposium is a premier event held every other year in India, supported by the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS), Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), India.

    3.Invited Talk
    “Highlights of Indian Contribution in STAR Experiment”
    DAE-DST Special Task Force Meeting, December 12-16, 2016.
    Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC), Mumbai, India.
    DAE-DST Special Task Force Meeting is held regularly to see the Indian contribution in world experiments including CMS and ALICE at CERN, and STAR experiment at BNL. The bduget and funding of various Indian groups and Collaborations is discussed in this meeting

    4.Invited Talk
    “Experimental results on freeze-out dynamics in heavy-ion collisions”
    6 th Asian Traingle Heavy-Ion Conference, Feb. 15-19, 2016
    India International Center, Delhi.
    This conference brings the Asian heavy-ion physics community together to discuss new developments in the field. Physicists from CIJK (China, India, Japan and Korea) are critical partners in the international group of physicists working to understand hot and dense QCD.

    5.Invited Plenary Talk as Resource Person
    “Experimental Results from the RHIC BES-I”
    National Seminar on Nuclear, Astro and High Energy Physics (NSHEP- 2015), October 29-30, 2015
    Department of Physics, Kuriakose Elias College, Mannanam, Kottayam, Kerala.
    This is the UGC-sponsored event where the organizers invited me as one the resource persons to interact with college level students, provide them the information of world level research and hence motivate them.

    6.Invited Plenary Talk
    “K ∗0 (892) and φ(1020) resonance production at RHIC” Resonance workshop at Catania-2014, November 3-7, 2014
    INFN Division of Catania, Catania.
    The purpose of the workshop is to bring together all the experts from theory and experiment working in the field of resonance. This would serve as a guideline for experimentalists and theorists to improve their understanding of the QCD and of the properties of the resonances in partonic and hadronic matter.

    7.Invited Plenary Talk
    “Review of Recent Heavy-Ion Results from RHIC”
    Triggering Discoveries in High Energy Physics, September 9-14, 2013
    Department of Physics and Electronics, University of Jammu.
    The conference organizers invited pioneer experts from different fields of research to present review talks on the latest results of their experiments.

    8.Invited Plenary Talk
    “STAR Results from RHIC beam energy scan-I”
    XXIII International Conference on Ultra relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions - Quark Matter 2012, August 13-18, 2012
    Washington DC, USA.
    Quark Matter Conference series is held at an interval of about 18 months and is the biggest conference in our field of research.

    9.Invited Plenary Talk
    “Report from STAR for heavy-ion data taking in Run-12”
    2012 RHIC & AGS Annual Users’ Meeting, June 12-15, 2012
    Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA.
    This annual meeting is most critical for BNL, as all representatives from the funding agencies are invited to this meeting to judge RHIC and experiment performances.

    10.Invited Plenary Talk
    “Results from the STAR Beam Energy Scan Program”
    6th International Conference on Physics and Astrophysics of Quark Gluon Plasma (ICPAQGP 2010), December 6-10, 2010
    Goa, India
    ICPAQGP series is the biggest international conference in India related to our field. It is held once every four years.

    “Identified Hadron Production from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan ”
    Meeting of the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society, August 9-13, 2011
    Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA.

    12.Invited Talk
    “Results from the Lowest Beam Energy Collisions at RHIC- First Step Towards Beam Energy Scan Program”
    September 30, 2008
    Nuclear Science Division,Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
    Berkeley, USA.

    13.Invited Talk
