Research Interest: Biometrology, Bionanotechnology, Bioenergy, Biomass, electron, light and atomic force microscopy

Research Interest: Agronomy, Crop Physiology, Stress Physiology, Seed Physiology, High crop efficiency, Nutrient Use Efficiency, Maize photosynthesis

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ümran ÇİÇEK earned her Ph.D. from Ankara University in food Engineering specializing in Meat Science and Technology. In particularly, her research focus is on the security of meat products and seafood processing.
