Aneshaka Bothma
Ms Aneshka Bothma is an innovative engineer specialising in the complex field of electromagnetic compatibility. She holds a Master’s degree in electronics and telecommunications and, through her studies and experience at the various EMC facilities of NRF-SARAO, she focuses on RFI/EMC testing, specifically building a solid theoretical foundation and complementing it with innovative practical solutions for real-world problems. She overcame significant health challenges by conquering cancer (twice!) during her academic journey. Her contributions include research on advanced EMI shielding techniques and the optimisation of reverberation chamber performance in the low-frequency bands for radio astronomy observations. As secretary of the South Africa EMC Interest Group, she promotes knowledge and skills exchange to not only strengthen the research industry but also encourage young engineers and underrepresented groups to engage actively in this field.
