Dr. Wahida Chowdhury is a cognitive scientist, who graduated with a Ph.D. in cognitive science from Carleton University in June 2017. She comes from an educational background in engineering, medicine, psychology, and cognitive science.

Her dissertation research investigated personal, social and situational influences on people’s judgments of online privacy and surveillance. Dr. Chowdhury started her research career as a social science research assistant in 2010 when she worked for a project funded by Employment and Social Development Canada to improve Government job websites. Since then she has been working on several research projects from inception to completion for private and public organizations, such as the Department of National Defence of Canada, the Treasury Board Secretariat Canada, Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. Her projects involved developing research proposals, performing literature reviews, designing and conducting surveys and interviews, analyzing results by both quantitative and qualitative statistical methods, conducting archival research, and writing research reports for publication or presentation at national and international conferences.Area(s) of expertise:

Research information:
Research in our lab concerns the most fundamental and persistent puzzle of nature: the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. Or, put another way, we are trying to answer the age-old question, why are there so many species in the world? To do this requires that we study the evolutionary process as it unfolds, keeping track of the variety of genotypes and phenotypes in a population or community through time, a task that would be very challenging with any large, long-lived organism. For this reason, we use microbial populations of bacteria and protists to study the evolutionary process in the laboratory. Topics of interest in the laboratory include the relationship between environmental variation and diversity, the genetics of adaptation, evolutionary medicine, and the evolution of social interactions.
