#40 Becoming a Role Model: Ying Wan Loh
Becoming a Role Model: Ying Wan Loh
From rotary drilling on Mars to hybrid-electric aviation and
the expansive global supply chains of the aeronautical industry, we explore the
engineering life of Ying Wan Loh. In 2019 Ying became the Institution of
Engineering and Technology Young Woman Engineer of the Year, a title given to
astronaut in the making Sophie
Harker in 2018.
Growing up as one of four siblings in Penang in Malaysia,
Ying grew frustrated with the Hollywood version of female leaders – princesses
who waited to be saved by male heroes. Instead she found her own role models,
from Star Wars protagonist Rey Skywalker to the real life first female
president of the Royal Aeronautical Society Jenny Body.
Today Ying’s ambition is to become a leader herself and she
calls on everyone to talk more about great female scientists and engineers.
“Let’s not stop at 12% women in engineering.”
Guest
