Sadaf Iqbal
About Me:
Hi I am Sadaf Iqbal. I am a researcher, science enthusiast also a mum. I have studied engineering in my undergraduate and masters’ degree. I have always wanted to work in the fields where mathematics and technology can benefit day to day lives of everybody. I did a PhD in Deep learning to detect a disease called Systemic Sclerosis using as easy a method as applying finger clips on your finger nails.
I believe Science is beautiful and is for everyone to enjoy and explore. I do enjoy talking to people how amazing science can be and if they think science is difficult, then talking to them about how it is not as difficult as they think. I have given several public talks to members of public where they were able to enjoy science in a casual chat and easy discussions.
I believe our young students are the ones who are constantly thinking about questions such as “Why should I study science”, “Should I stusy science when I go for higher studies?”, “Well can I not choose science when I grow up ?”, “How difficult is Maths or Physics or Programming ?”, so I believe that giving them a platform to explore their queries can make a huge difference in making it easier for them to love science. So here I volunteered to answer the questions from our budding scientists, the science enthusiats and from everyone who wants to ask questions.
