Lecturer
PhD, School of Environment and Science (Griffith University, Australia), M.Sc., B.Sc. Ag. (Hons.) (Bangladesh Agricultural University)
Dr. Marzia Bilkiss is currently working as a lecturer at the Department of Environmental Science. Her research areas cover mainly Plant-pathogen molecular interaction and development of diagnostic method; agriculture & ecology and the interaction between the two. Her research interests encompass also climate change, pollution and their impact on biodiversity. She earned her PhD from Griffith University, Australia in School of Environment and Science; MS in Plant Pathology and BSc. in Agriculture from Bangladesh Agricultural University. Some of her research outcomes have been published in high impact international journals. Dr. Marzia aspires to develop applied research solution in agro ecology sector and create an expert team for accelerating Bangladesh towards sustainable development.
