Dr Anisa Qamar

I am working as a Professor in the field of Theoretical Plasma Physics since 2016, during my carrier I produced eight PhD and fifteen MS scholars. Now engage in establishing experimental plasma physics lab for biomedical application, and interested to work for women in Physics in the South Asia.

I am working as the focal person of Pakistan for International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) since 2017 and struggling to expose Pakistani women in the field of physics internationally.

If we ignore the role of women in physics then no country will progress in future technology. I organized the first Regional Conference on women in Physics in Pakistan in 2016. The second Regional Conference was organized in Nepal in 2019 to provoke the South Asian Women in Physics.
