Master's in Plant Biotechnology، University of Duhok (2017)

My teaching experience includes conducting practical courses in Botany, Genetics, Plant Physiology, General Biology, and Biological Instrumentation, with a strong focus on hands-on laboratory training. I guide students through experiments, microscopic observations, and proper use of biological instruments to reinforce theoretical knowledge through practice. Through structured demonstrations and supervised lab work, I aim to develop students’ technical skills, analytical abilities, and confidence in laboratory environments, preparing them for advanced study and research in the biological sciences.

My research interests focus on:

1- Medicinal plant micropropagation and the assessment of nanoparticle toxicity in plants. I aim to develop efficient in vitro micropropagation protocols to support large-scale production and conservation of medicinal plant species.

2- In parallel, I investigate how different nanoparticles affect plant growth, physiology, and cellular processes, with the goal of understanding plant–nanoparticle interactions and identifying potential toxic effects. Through this work, I seek to promote sustainable use of medicinal plants and support safe applications of nanotechnology in plant biotechnology.
