Over past few decades, the light scattering techniques have improved due to various advances in computational power as well as improvement in mathematical abilities. The most common techniques use Mie Theory, T-matrix approach, discrete dipole approximation, eikonal methods and many other approximation and numerical methods. These techniques are adapted to suit various applications viz. (i) interpretation of Astrophysical phenomena as a result of light scattered from cosmic dust (ii) laboratory experiments on simulated dust samples (iii) medical and astrophysical applications etc. On international scene multiple conferences are held every year relating with these topics. In India, there are several interested workers in this field ranging from astronomers, theoreticians and laboratory physicists who will find the proposed workshop as an important platform to exchange new ideas and possible inter- disciplinary areas where collaborations can be initiated.
This workshop is meant for workers in these areas who could be interested in attending and making presentations.
