Ekrem Aydiner (Istanbul University, Turkey) - Chair

Biography
xx Ekrem Aydıner graduated from Ankara University Physics Department. He completed his doctorate at the Physics Department of Çukurova University. He worked in distinguished universities and research institutes such as Çukurova University, Feza Gürsey Institute, Dokuz Eylül University and Istanbul University. He participated in researches at various universities abroad. He interested in theoretical and computational physics. He recieved Sedat Simavi Praiseworthy Award for Chaotic Universe Theory. Aydiner has recently focused on the Chaotic Universe Theory, the origin of the matter, Matter-antimatter asymmetry and the cosmic evolution of the Universe. In a recent study he show that the late time transition of the universe can be explained by the dark matter and dark energy interaction.

Burra G. Sidharth (B. M. Birla Science Centre, India) - Spokesman

Biography
xx After finishing his masters degree in applied mathematics with quantum mechanics as a specialization, Sidharth was briefly at the Int. center for Theoretical physics, in Trieste, Italy Here he briefly interacted with Professor Abdul‘s salam and continued to be in touch with him till his demise. He returned from Trieste with a PHD from Kolkata university. There upon he continued working in quantum scattering till the mid 90s, but then this work evolved into a number of significant areas. For example, in 1995 he proposed One dimensional and Two dimensional structure‘s. Nanotubes and graphene followed later, in fact graphene itself was discovered in 2005. In 1997 he came up with his model of dark energy and an evil accelerating universe. This was noted by if you Nobel laureate‘s. In fact professor Tony Legget went on to say that the Nobel committee could have at least acknowledged this, because shortly there after the accelerating universe was observationally discovered. All this was but a part of his research which went on to point out things like the fifth force and so on. Dr. Sidharth has some 200 peer reviewed research articles has also some 15 books, with another couple of books on the anvil He was proposed for the Nobel prize He has also played host to some 40 Nobel laureate’s.
