"Radio Astronomy and EEE"

We are excited to announce an upcoming event, "Radio Astronomy and EEE," organized by the IEEE Photonics Society IUB Student Branch Chapter, and supported by IEEE IUB Student Branch and CASSA. This event promises to be an engaging and informative session on the exciting field of radio astronomy and its applications in electrical and electronic engineering (EEE).

🎙️ Keynote Speaker:
Khan Muhammad Bin Asad, PhD
Principal Proposer, Center for Astronomy, Space Science, and Astrophysics (CASSA)
Assistant Professor, Dept. of Physical Sciences

In this event, Dr. Khan Muhammad Bin Asad will explore the foundational and ongoing connections between radio astronomy and Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE). The field of radio astronomy was born through the work of Karl Jansky, a physicist by degree but an electrical engineer by profession, who first detected cosmic radio waves in the 1930s. It was further advanced by Grote Reber, a trained electrical engineer who built the first dedicated radio telescope.

Since those early days, radio astronomy has relied heavily on EEE—from antenna design and low-noise electronics to signal processing and high-performance computing. Dr. Asad will highlight how engineering innovations continue to drive astrophysical discoveries, and how the extreme demands of radio astronomy, in turn, push the boundaries of EEE research and technology.

This session will provide EEE students with valuable insights into how their field contributes to groundbreaking advancements in space science and how innovations in engineering continue to expand the frontiers of both disciplines.
