Speaker Bio
My name is Aidana. I am an ecologist and researcher specializing in the sustainable management of natural resources, particularly water. My first degree was in hydrogeology, and then I received a master's degree in ecology. At the intersection of science, technology and art, I am looking for solutions that help preserve nature and improve people's quality of life. I am currently working at the Central Asian Institute of Environmental Research LLP, where I am involved in projects related to water management, climate change adaptation, environmental monitoring and innovation. My focus is on sustainable water supply in an urbanized and climatic environment. I am the author of a patent for a device for collecting rainwater. In my work, I actively use the international standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 17025, conduct comprehensive research on water, soil and biodiversity, prepare scientific reports, develop methodologies and propose solutions for sustainable ecosystem management. For me, science is not just a job, it's a path. The path to a better world. I believe that environmental safety, resource justice and clean energy are not a dream, but a necessity. I strive to combine accurate data, interdisciplinary approaches, and creative thinking to create truly effective, inspiring, and achievable projects.
