Space and Astrophysics Research Lab (SARL) - NCGSA

The Space and Astrophysics Research Lab (SARL) is one of the seven research facilities operating under NCGSA. At SARL, we aim to develop the field of astronomy and astrophysics in Pakistan, through the study of space, the Universe, stars, galaxies, and other cosmic phenomena. To achieve this, the lab consists of and operates with high-end computational systems, GPUs, and workstations, alongside an observatory that is equipped with few of Pakistan's biggest optical and solar telescopes. The researchers at SARL work in the theoretical, computational, and observational domains of galactic, plasma, high-energy and gravitational wave astrophysics. Through our research activities, internships, seminars, and workshops, we simultaneously focus on and promote UN's SDGs such as provision of quality education, support to innovation and infrastructure, establishment of global and local partnerships, and ensuring gender equality through equal opportunity.
