This year IEEE WIE Affinity Group Student Branch University of Dhaka in association with IEEE Student Branch University of Dhaka are celebrating IWD 2022 by organizing a special contest for you. We will be providing you the opportunity and platform to conceptualize, write, illustrate about a given topic and come up with innovative, sustainable and real-life based solution. The competition is open for all.
Women of the world want and deserve an equal future free from stigma, stereotypes and violence; a future that’s sustainable, peaceful, with equal rights and opportunities for all. To get us there, the world needs women at every table where decisions are being made. International Women’s Day is also known as IWD for short, grew out of the labor movement to become a recognized annual event by the United Nations (UN). The seeds of it were planted in 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter working hours, better pay and the right to vote. The campaign theme for International Women’s Day 2022 is #BreakTheBias. Whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists isn’t enough. Action is needed to level the playing field. This Women’s Day we want women to have a sustainable work environment that aids her promotion in hierarchy when the field is more male dominated. Just like the theme this year, we want to break the bias and empower women more.

The guest and speaker for our event is Dr Shaila Akhter (PhD in Astrophysics, The University of New South Wales, Australia); astrophysicist, science communicator and educator. She is an alumna of our very own department, Applied Physics. Electronics and Communication Engineering. After graduation from the University of Dhaka, she pursued Master of Engineering from the Australian National University (ANU). After successfully doing some jobs including as a telecom engineer, she embarked on a journey of Astrophysics. She completed her MPhil from ANU and after that she pursued PhD from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
Her PhD was jointly from the CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science. It’s the top innovation organization and has a partnership with NASA in Australia.
She has been an academic at UNSW and along with that she has worked both in optical and radio astronomy. She has been a promising researcher from the very beginning of her career and her research area includes topics such as star formation, interstellar medium, Milky way galaxy, galactic astronomy, etc. She was awarded with many accolades as a recognition of her talent and the work she has done.
Being a stellar academic and researcher, she has an enormous interest in mental health and personal development, and she does counseling voluntarily. She effectively works and spends time in the aforementioned areas.
Having Shaila Akhter as our honorable speaker in the event, we hope to be inspired by her dynamic career and learn how she has managed everything. We will get to know what hurdles she had to face and how she overcame every challenge. In addition to that, we will also get to know how she moved from applied physics to a field like astrophysics and her successful journey along the path.
