Ep 20: Image processing, treating cataracts with lasers, and Caroline Herschel

This month, we talk to mathematician Dr Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb about how she uses maths in image processing. And amateur astronomer Hilary Harper-Abernethy talks about the life and works of astronomer Caroline Herschel. Our invention of the month is the Laserphaco Probe, a device that uses lasers to remove cataracts, by Dr Patricia Bath. The Ada Lovelace Day podcast highlights the work of women in STEM. We talk to women from around the STEM world about their careers, as well as talking to women and men about historic and modern women’s achievements, discoveries, and inventions. This will be our last episode for a while, as we focus on other projects. Find out more about our podcast on our website, findingada.com/podcast/.
