Nazanin Azarnejad

I'm an Iranian professional with a strong academic foundation in environmental sciences and natural resources engineering. I am a Ph.D. Student in Life Sciences from the University of Siena, Italy, and have contributed to collaborative research projects with institutions like Kashan University and Tehran University.

My academic journey equipped me with expertise in various scientific fields, including soil and water science, botany, biotechnology, and microbiology. Beyond academics, I've developed leadership, creativity, and problem-solving skills through roles.

Fluent in Persian and proficient in English, I'm eager to continue contributing to environmental sustainability and scientific exploration on a global scale.
