The theme of the conference has been kept broad enough to include diverse areas of pure science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics) and Engineering Science and their interdisciplinary applications.

Over hundred papers were selected for oral presentation in the conference after an initial review. Every submitted full length paper was sent for peer review to at least two potential reviewers in the related areas of expertise once it is passed by the program committee. Ninety-seven papers could have been finally selected on the recommendation of the peer review committees in the form of the present volume. We hope this volume of the proceedings from ICPES2020 will be a very useful contribution to the academicians, engineers, researches and scientists for enthusing new vistas of research and development in these emerging areas.
