Caroline Mohammed has become the first female Professor in agricultural science at the University of Tasmania, an achievement that shines light on the opportunities provided by a career in science.
It has been a fascinating and globally diverse journey for Professor Mohammed, whose passion for people and solving real-world problems has inspired her research for over thirty years.
“I am interested in people, how things work and solving real problems – that’s probably how I ended up working in agricultural systems at the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture here at the University of Tasmania,” she said.
Leader of the newly established Centre of Agricultural Systems at the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture, Professor Mohammed is embedding a new kind of thinking into agricultural research.
