Melbourne: Neelima Kadiyala among 60 scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians have been selected as Australia's Superstars of STEM.
Neelima Kadiyala will undertake a two-year program in 2023 and 2024 to step into the media spotlight as STEM experts.
"The new Superstars reflect the strong diversity of women and non-binary people in Australian science and technology," a Science & Technology Australia (STA) press note stated.
The Superstars of STEM initiative is supported by STA, which is a peak body in science and technology, representing more than 105,000 scientists and technologists.
Neelima Kadiyala, an IT Program Manager with Challenger Limited, has over 15 years of experience delivering extensive transformation programs across multiple industries including Financial Services, Government, Telco and FMCG.
"I want to further extend my voluntary services for broader IT community across Australia," Kadiyala, who came to Australia in 2003, said.
The programme, since its inception in 2017, selects 60 women and non-binary STEM experts and gives them the training, networks and experience to become experts in their fields as media commentators.
It also seeks to smash gender assumptions about who can work in science, technology, engineering and maths
