to discuss the phenomenal diversity of plasmas in the cosmos and in
our day-to-day lives. Describing multi-level techniques used to
study plasma configuration and stability, with emphasis on its
relevance to the global challenges we face today like clean energy,
Professor Krishan takes us on a journey to better understand
plasma, the most prevalent state of matter in the universe.
