PROFESSIONAL
Dr. Noor Azrizal bin Abdul Wahid received his bachelor’ degree in Ecology and Biodiversity program from Universiti Malaya in 2010. He then pursued his Master’s Degree in Universiti Malaya in the field of entomology and molecular biology, and earned the degree in 2016. In 2021, he graduated with a PhD degree from the same university in the field of entomology, with special focus on the molecular systematics, genetic and population structure, and pathogen interaction in medical-veterinary importance insects. His research expertise has been developed through various research activities and collaboration.
He has strong research knowledge in the field with several publications in ISI-indexed journals in the aspects of entomology, systematics, molecular biology, parasitology and vector biology. Apart from research, he also teaches undergraduate courses related to biology at the Department of Biology, Universiti Putra Malaysia. His passion in both research and academic teaching had put himself as a dedicated educator and researcher.
