Huge congratulations to Ahmed G. Hussain (Intake 2, 2017-2019), whose PhD thesis was named Best Dissertation of the Year by the Netherlands Entomological Society (NEV)! 🏆🇳🇱
Defended in October 2024, his research—“Battling Invaders with Allies”— conducted at Wageningen University & Research, offers a sustainable breakthrough against the invasive Fall Armyworm. By using baculoviruses instead of chemical pesticides, Ahmed’s work provides a vital tool for food security in over 80 affected countries. 🌿🦠
We are incredibly proud to see our alumni leading the charge in sustainable agriculture. A well-deserved recognition! 🥂✨
