About Afshana Parven Shahid

I am Afshana Parven. Currently, I am doing a Ph.D. at AIT, Thailand. I had completed my Bachelor's from Bangladesh Agricultural University. After that, I pursued MSc. at AIT, Thailand, equivalent to an M.Phil degree with AIT and NORAD fellowship. My research focused on Triploidy induction and growth management of hybrid catfish. I have joined as a Lecturer at a Private University in Bangladesh and was Promoted as an Assistant Professor. After serving many years, I pursued another MSc. (2 years) in Wageningen University, the Netherlands, with the Netherland Fellowship.  I returned to Bangladesh and joined as a Lecturer in NSTU and am now on study leave for pursuing a Ph.D. with a Japanese Government Scholarship. I have also completed an MBA in Human Resources Management from Royal Roads University, Canada. I have attended many national and international seminars, training, and workshops. I have more than 14 years of Teaching and research experience with the prestigious membership in the world Aquaculture Society. I have also been involved in the IRDR Young Scientist Program
