I am an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Architecture at the University of Duhok. I hold a Master's degree in Design Methodology, and my teaching and research focus on architectural design methodology and architectural theory. My academic interests include computational design, design evaluation, and the application of quantitative research methods to the built environment. As both an educator and researcher, I am committed to promoting systematic and evidence-based approaches to architectural design while helping students develop critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and practical design skills.

As an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Architecture at the University of Duhok, I am responsible for delivering lectures, conducting practical studio sessions, preparing course materials, assessing student performance, and supporting students throughout their academic development.
My teaching philosophy is based on student-centered learning that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. I encourage critical thinking, creativity, and systematic problem-solving, particularly in architectural design, where students learn through studio work, design projects, and constructive feedback.
I have taught undergraduate courses including Architectural Design Methodology, Architectural Design Studio, and Building Services (HVAC, Plumbing, Sanitation, and Electrical Systems).
