about us
This forum has been established with an intention to promote Pyrolysis related research in Asia and further bridge Pyro Asia Forum and International Pyro community in terms of research and technology updates. This is required since not all researchers from Asia are able to participate in international forum actively. This idea was welcomed by many senior, middle and junior researchers. One of the aims of this forum is also to nurture next generation pyrolysis experts with the help of seniors from Asia and International forum.
To kick start the interaction, the first edition of international symposium of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis was organized at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, India during Dec 2019. The details can be found from this link (give 2019 conference link)
The forum was started in 2019 with few key personals first. We have expanded our leadership to other parts of Asia. We have around 100 members in this forum. Below one is latest one which will further be expanded as we grow.
