2) Abstract /Introduction

It gives us immense pleasure to be a part of this

innovative activity of making project on eminent
scientists. In this project, we have collected information
on five International Eminent Scientists. All these
scientists are female. This project is also on women
empowerment .The scientists are:
1. Dang Thi Oonh
2. Dr. Nashwa Eassa
3. Dr. Mojisola Usikalu
4. Dr. Rabia
5. Dr. Mojisola Oluwayemisi Adeniyi

This project was guided by PROF.A.S.BHAMARE .It would

not be possible to make this project without him. He
enriched us with his guidance throughout this process.
We were able to know the importance of education from
this project. All the female scientists mentioned in here
belonged to poor background and some of them were
even not able to afford to get education. The region were
they belonged considered pursuing education as a luxury,
but in spite of all these problems they were able to follow
their dreams and become a successful person.

3) Main Body

Dang Thi Oanh

Growing up in a tribal village in Vietnam, Dang Thi Oanh lived in a house
with a roof made of leaves and no electricity. Motivated by more than a
passion for learning, she would study by the light of an oil lamp:
“I had to escape the hunger and poverty. If you study, you don't have to
work on the farm; you have don't have to gather dry wood in the jungle
(to burn for heat and cooking).”
Dr. Oanh, now Head of the Division of Science-Technology and
International Cooperation at Thái Nguyên University of Information and
Communications Technology, was one of five winners of the 2015
Elsevier Foundation Award for Women Scientists in the Developing
World. She took the stage at the AAAS Annual Meeting in San Jose,
California, sharing her stories and stressing the need to encourage
young women to pursue careers in science and math.
The awards are presented annually in conjunction with the Organization
for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) and TWAS, the
World Academy of Sciences to recognize the accomplishments of five
early-career scientists. 2017 year's award was for physics and
mathematics.
"If you study, you don't have to work on the farm" said Dr.Oanh.
Dr. Oanh grew up in northern Vietnam, her family among the Tay
people. She was one of 12 children, though just seven ultimately
survived.
Her mentor was her older sister, who was a high school mathematics
teacher. She went to a state university for tribal people for a year before
transferring to other universities in Hanoi for her information
technology and mathematics training.
She earned her PhD in 2012 from the Institute of Information
Technology at the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, and is
now on the faculty of Thái Nguyên University.
Dr. Oanh, a mother of two, is also becoming a mentor and advisor to
some PhD students at her university. "It's very important to me because
(mentoring) encouraged me to continue to do research and develop the
method I'm working on," she said.
She received the Elsevier Foundation Award for improvements the
accuracy and efficiency of some computer-based methods to solving
some difficult problems in calculus. Her work has potential applications
in fields such as artificial intelligence and computer graphics.
At AAAS, she was joined by Dr. Paul "Do-Le" Minh, Professor of
Information Systems and Management Sciences at California State
University, Fullerton, who met her at a conference in Vietnam and
became her mentor.

Dr. Nashwa Eassa
Dr. Nashwa Eassa was born near Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.
Her father was a teacher, and all six of her siblings graduated
from college.
Her own interest in science stemmed from her curiosity about the
world when she was in high school:
“I started getting interested in the universe and what it was about. I was
just so curious to know.”
She excelled. But when it came to choosing her major in college,
she took a different path than the other top students.
"If you have high marks, you go to medicine or engineering; if you
have low marks you go to science," she said, explaining that the
best jobs are in engineering and medicine.
With her grades, she could have chosen that path with higher pay,
but instead, she followed her passion and studied physics. She
earned Master of Science in Material Physics and Nanotechnology
from Linkoping University in Sweden and a PhD in Physics
from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) in South
Africa.
Now, she is Assistant Professor of Physics at Al Neelain
University in Khartoum, and she is pursuing a postdoctoral
fellowship in Nano photonics at NMMU.
Her current research focuses on development of titanium oxide
nanoparticles and nanotubes structures. She won the Elsevier
Foundation award for her research in nanoparticle physic,
exploring ways to lessen the film that accumulates on the surface
of a high-speed semiconductor, interfering with the flow of
electrical current. She is also involved in a project developing
methods for using solar radiation to treat water and for splitting
water molecules so that hydrogen can be collected.
In 2015, she founded the organization Sudanese Women in
Science. With more than 100 members now, they aim help women
become more effective scientists by teaching them to write
scientific proposals and papers. In addition, they have established
a cross-disciplinary team in chemistry, physics and biology to
work on water treatment projects to purify the region's drinking
water.

 Dr. Mojisola
Usikalu
Dr. Mojisola Usikalu was born in a small town in Southwest
Nigeria. Her father died when she was 6 years old, and her mother
raised the family on her income as a school teacher with support
from her brothers.
Dr. Usikalu became interested in science when she was in
secondary school.
"I had a very good female physics teacher who mentored me and
encouraged me to go into physics," she said.
She taught in secondary school to earn the money to complete her
master's degree.
In graduate school, she developed an interest in radiation and
health physics. With scholarships from TWOWS (now OWSD) to
do research at the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese
Academy of Sciences in Lanzhou, China, she earned a PhD degree
at Covenant University in Ota, Nigeria.
"I knew that what we give to the environment is what we get –
that health and the environment are related," she explained.
Now, as Senior Lecturer in Physics at Covenant University, she
researches the effects of radiation from the environment,
including microwave radiation, ionizing radiation and radiation
from mobile phones.
She received the Elsevier Foundation award for research on how
radiation affects health, finding that exposure to microwave
radiation, for example, could increase anxiety and reduce sperm
counts in animals. She is also active in promoting physics in
Nigeria, participating in programs to guide young women into
studying university-level physics:
“Many of my female students who had plans of stopping
after their first degree are now considering perusing a
degree in science after working with me. Once they see
me as someone who has achieved something, so they are
encouraged by my success, and I also encourage them
that they can achieve success in science by dedication,
determination and hard work.”

 Dr. Rabia
Dr. Rabia Sa'id grew up in a polygamist family, which is legal in
parts of Nigeria; her father and two mothers had 10 children but
lost three of them.
With her father a soldier, she attended an Army school, finishing
at the top of her class. "If you were very intelligent in my country,
the government directs you to do science," she explained.
"I've always wanted to study higher education; I never wanted to
just stay back and be a wife and mother."
But after high school, she put her dreams on hold.
She had three young children, and she had to wait until she could
balance motherhood with her studies. Ten years passed.
"Within that time, all my classmates had finished university and
were working, and I was just a housewife, and I wanted to also be
in their league," she recalled.
She admitted that she felt a tinge of envy when she saw students
graduate who were not nearly as successful as her in school.
When she finally went back, she excelled in the sciences, with her
top grades in physics.
Now, she serves as Deputy Dean of Student Affairs at Bayero
University in Kano and lectures undergraduate and postgraduate
students in the Department of Physics.
Her research has covered electronics, particle physics,
atmospheric physics and space weather physics, and she applies it
to local environmental needs, including hydropower and waste
recycling. She has been published in journals for applied physics.
She won the Elsevier Foundation Award for research that aims to
solve Nigerian environmental challenges, such as decreasing
deforestation by turning carpenter's waste into briquettes for use
in place of firewood. She is currently working on a government
project to gather atmospheric data.
She is now a mother of six children, two with disabilities,
balancing that role with her work as mentor for local and national
science projects that encourage youth participation. She is a role
model for science education in her predominantly Muslim
community, where girls' education is struggling to be recognized.
Dr. Sa'id closed her acceptance speech with a metaphor that
brought tears to the eyes of people in the audience:
“The spotlight is shining on me, but as we know with the physics
of light, it is the interaction of the radiation with matter that
enables visibility. So I'm standing before you today, and the light
is shining on me, and I'm only visible because I'm interacting
with all of you.”

 Dr. Mojisola
Oluwayemisi Adeniyi
Dr. Mojisola Oluwayemisi Adeniyi was the second of eight siblings
born in the small town of Iwo in Southwestern Nigeria, and the
first to study science in her family. A high school teacher got her
interested in physics.
"The teacher made the subject interesting and practical," she
recalled, explaining that he related them to the real world.
Her parents, both teachers, urged her to become a medical doctor
because of the high income in the medical profession, telling her
that her that her grades were too good for a physics career. Still,
she opted for physics even though it was difficult for her to
convince them.
She studied physics in college and atmospheric physics in
graduate school, obtaining her Bachelor of Science, Master of
Science and PhD from the University of Ibadan, where she is now
Head of the Atmospheric Physics/Meteorological Research Group
in the Department of Physics.
In 2012, she earned an additional Master of Science degree in
Applied Meteorology and Climatology at the University of
Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
Like her introduction to physics, she continues to use science
toward practical ends in her country. She received the Elsevier
Foundation award for research using modeling to understand
weather and climate, as well as atmospheric radioactivity,
lightning and food security. Her research has shed light on when
to best plant staple crops in Nigeria. She has also presented on
efforts to improve the accuracy of climate models. She has
published her research in peer reviewed journals.
She's also a mentor, sharing what she has learned abroad as well
as locally. At the university, she teaches students and colleagues
software skills for the analysis of climate change and weather
data, even sharing the laptop in her office.
"When you see us sometimes, all of us will be on one laptop," she
said.
"It wasn't easy for me to gain this knowledge," she added. "I had
to force myself to go out of Nigeria to learn all this. In terms of
capacity building, I'm teaching all my students and my colleagues
so they will be able to do the kind of research I do."
She said her husband, a businessman, gives her research "full
moral support," and their 14-year-old son is now interested in
physics.
And her parents are now "convinced and happy" of her choice to
pursue a career in physics.

4) Conclusion
From the information given by these inspirational women we
found out that behind every successful person lies his mentor, and
most often it’s his teacher. So this project also taught us the value
of our teachers and henceforth we will respect them with more of
our conscience.
We are very thankful to MSBTE and Professor Bhamare for
assigning us this project and giving us this opportunity to know
more about the importance of granting education as well as being
down to earth even after reaching to paradise.
