Our knowledge and understanding about the Universe at present day brings together various famous discoveries made by astronomers. Many of these discoveries were made by women who never became household names. In this month’s KPL astronomy talk, Lammim Ahad will discuss some of the important work done by women who contributed significantly to astronomy and astrophysics, but whose contributions were often underappreciated or unrecognized at the time.
Dr. Syeda Lammim Ahad is a postdoctoral researcher in the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Centre for Astrophysics. Her research combined simulations and observations to understand how galaxies evolve across different environments. Outside of astronomy, you can often find Dr. Ahad painting, reading, and travelling.
