  • Zoom Q&A session on Astronomy PhD admission for Bangladeshi students

    Many Bangladeshi astronomers are currently engaged in research and teaching positions in various countries, including many PhD, postdoc, and faculty members. On Saturday, October 26, at 8:30 PM, I will be participating in an online panel discussion with five people from North American to talk about opportunities for pursuing a PhD in astronomy abroad, specifically […]

  • CASSA Colloquium 1: Galaxy Evolution in High-Density Environments: Insights from Hydrodynamic Simulations and Multi-Wavelength Observations

    Lecture Gallery MK9006, DMK Building, IUB Plot 16, Aftabuddin Ahmed Road, Block B, Bashundhara RA, Dhaka, Bangladesh

    Speaker: Syeda Lammim Ahad, PhD, WCA Postdoctoral Fellow, Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics, University of Waterloo, Canada; Associate Member, CASSA. Abstract: Galaxies in the Universe are distributed along the intricate framework of the Cosmic Web. Groups and clusters of galaxies comprise the densest regions in this network and therefore, are excellent cosmic laboratories to study different […]

  • CASSA Colloquium 2: Exploring the Co-Evolution of Star Clusters and Galaxies Since Cosmic Dawn with JWST

    Lecture Gallery MK9006, DMK Building, IUB Plot 16, Aftabuddin Ahmed Road, Block B, Bashundhara RA, Dhaka, Bangladesh

    Speaker: Lamiya Ashraf Mowla, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Wellesley College, USA. Abstract: The most distant galaxies observed date back to when the Universe was only 5% of its current age, with progenitors of galaxies like the Milky Way being about 10,000 times less massive. Using JWST and the magnification provided by […]
