FROM BANGLADESH TO THE STARS: Turaba Rahman's Journey in Astrophysics
Turaba Rahman, a senior at Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ and in the Honors College, grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. When she was little, she was enamored with stargazing. Where she lived, it was hard to see the sky through the buildings and lights that blocked it, but she always tried her best to spot constellations. Ever since she can remember being frustrated while trying to draw the perfect star, she had fallen in love with the giant spheres of dust and gas.
