SAASST Summer Students Internship Graduation

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology has organized a special seminar presentation for 11 students finishing their six-week summer internships. Some of these students have joined the “Radio Astronomy Laboratory,” some the “Space Weather and Ionospheric Laboratory,” and one student the CubeSat Laboratory. The students showed a great understanding of their research work with excellent space sciences presentations, even though all of them came from an engineering background. The experience they gained in doing space sciences research will be long felt in their future work.

For the radio astronomy laboratory, the students were under the supervision of Mr. Mohamed Rihan and Ms. Asmaa A. Alhameed. For the Space Weather, Dr. Mubasshir Shaikh was their director supervisor with several of his laboratory students. Finally, for the CubeSat Laboratory, the student was supervised by Mrs. Tarifa Al-Kaabi and Mr. Yousuf Faroukh.
