Biography

Nur Aida graduated with B.Sc. in Applied Science, majoring in applied entomology and minoring in management studies from the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). She obtained her M.Sc. also in applied entomology from USM in 2006. In 2013 she received a Ph.D. degree in medical entomology from USM for her studies on the population abundance, distribution, forecasting models and breeding habitat ecology of dengue vectors in Penang Island. Before joining Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) as an academic staff in 2014, she worked as Research officer at the School of Biological Sciences, USM. As the research officer in entomology she was involved in research related to mosquitoes, flies, cockroach, ants and aquatic insects. Her current research projects in UMT focus on biology, ecology and control of agriculture and stored product insect pests such as sweet potato weevil, rice weevil, brown plant hopper, stem borer and leaf roller of paddy. She also currently conducting research on biology, ecology and behaviour of dengue vectors in Terengganu as well as insect pests associated with stingless bees.

Research Interests

Agricultural, medical (mosquitoes), urban entomology
