Abstract

The 1st International Conference on Fundamental, Applied Sciences and Technology (ICoFAST 2021) is organized by Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and Hadhramout University (HU). It was successfully held online through Zoom on March. 15-16, 2021. Due to COVID-19 and the pandemic-related nationwide lockdowns and other coordinated restrictive measures, the organizers decided to hold a conference in a virtual format with the organization of access for all participants to the presented reports with comprehensive discussion for ensuring the event at a high scientific level. ICoFAST 2021 is to bring together researchers and professionals from the academic, industrial and public sectors in the context of multi and inter-disciplinary forum and discussions on Fundamental, Sciences and Technology. The primary goal of the conference is to provide an excellent opportunity of knowledge sharing and research ideas exchange in the abovementioned disciplines for a better quality of life to meet future challenges. This conference is open to all researchers, postgraduates and post-doctoral students from all over the world. The conference will be held every two years to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in Sciences and Technology and related areas. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. ZOOM platform has been used for ICoFAST 2021, so all presenters, researchers, and audience were attended accordingly. ICoFAST 2021 was divided into four sessions through two days, including two keynote speaker’s speeches, oral presentations, and online Q&A discussion. Every keynote speaker was given one hour to deliver his talk whereas 15 minutes for each presenter to perform their oral presentations one by one via ZOOM.
