Publications:

Professor P K Shukla has 23 papers that have been each cited more than 100 times. Two of his papers
dealing with the dust acoustic and dust ion-acoustic waves, as well as his textbook "Introduction to Dusty
Plasma Physics" have been cited more than 500 times, a remarkable number for a relatively small field of
dusty plasma physics.
