Short Bio:
Garabet Kazanjian is an Assistant Professor at the American University of Armenia. He joined the university in 2020 and in 2022 he received the AUA Faculty Research Initiation Award.
Previously, Dr. Kazanjian has worked as a researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) in Berlin, Germany, as a guest researcher at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), and as an Oceans Campaigner for Greenpeace.
Dr Kazanjian received his PhD in Limnology from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and his MSc in Marine Ecology from the American University of Beirut. He is interested in all things water, biodiversity and environmental sustainability.
