Preface: 2nd International Conference on Recent Advances in Fundamental and Applied Sciences-2019

After the remarkable success of the 1st edition of the international conference on RECENT ADVANCES IN FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED SCIENCES (RAFAS) in November 2016, the 2nd edition of RAFAS was planned in November 2019 at Lovely Professional University to spur the exchange of knowledge and ideas in the field of science and technology. The conference was a convergence of scientists, research investigators, students, and other professionals from diverse backgrounds who deliberated upon various current issues related to different branches of science and technology. The primary aim of this conference was the presentation of current research and the latest technologies being adopted to address local and international scientific challenges. RAFAS 2019 provided an ideal environment for young researchers as well as practitioners to promote discourses regarding new advances in every facet of science and technology. The focus of the conference was on various research fields of basic sciences (viz. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), Chemical Engineering and Petroleum Engineering. On similar lines to that of the previous edition of RAFAS, the current edition also provided a perfect platform to build productive coordination between the academia and the industry, which was very much the need of the hour. We are thankful to peer reviewers who contributed to improve the quality of research papers. We are very grateful to the international and national advisory committee, session chairs, student volunteers and university management who helped for the grand success of this conference.
