Marjana Chowdhury

My name is Marjana Chowdhury, and I am a second-year PhD candidate in Sustainability Management at the School of Environment, Enterprise & Development (SEED). With a background in Civil & Environmental Engineering, my current research explores the economic value and environmental benefits of Nature-Based Solutions for enhancing urban resilience in Canadian cities. Before pursuing my graduate studies, I held various roles with the United Nations and Multilateral Development Banks, gaining extensive experience in international development. Beyond academics, I enjoy traveling, photography, and spending time watching movies with my son. As the Treasurer for GSEF, I am excited to contribute to supporting graduate students at the University of Waterloo and fostering a thriving academic community.
