My academic teaching career reflects more than a decade of continuous engagement with students across diverse disciplines and academic levels at the University of Duhok. Between 2011 and 2016, I contributed to the education of undergraduate students in the College of Veterinary Medicine, the College of Agriculture, and the College of Basic Education. During this period, I delivered courses in Computer Applications, Microsoft Office, SPSS statistical analysis, and fundamental internet skills. These courses provided students with essential digital competencies, which supported their academic development and prepared them for research activities and professional practice.
Since 2017, my teaching responsibilities have expanded to include postgraduate instruction. I have taught Applied Mathematics and Advanced Statistics to master’s students, ensuring that they develop rigorous analytical skills and a deep understanding of mathematical modeling. Additionally, I have taught courses in Operations Research and Computer Applications, helping students connect theoretical concepts with practical problem-solving methodologies used in scientific and administrative fields.
Throughout my teaching career, I have remained committed to fostering an engaging, supportive learning environment. My approach emphasizes clarity of explanation, practical application, and the development of independent analytical thinking. This sustained experience across multiple colleges and academic levels has strengthened my dedication to advancing mathematical education and supporting students as they progress in their academic and professional journeys.
Academic Leadership
Throughout my academic career, I have held leadership positions that contributed meaningfully to the development of higher education, research, and institutional collaboration. From 2020 to 2024, I served as Head of the Science Department at the College of Basic Education, University of Duhok, where I was responsible for academic planning, curriculum development, and quality assurance, while supporting the professional growth of both faculty members and students.
Since 2025, I have been serving as Director of PASCAL Near East-Asia, leading regional initiatives that promote international partnerships, knowledge exchange, and engagement among universities, communities, and policymakers. Through these roles, I have sought to advance academic excellence, build interdisciplinary bridges across institutions, and broaden the societal reach and impact of higher education.
International Conference and Academic Engagements
I have actively participated in international conferences, workshops, and academic networking events that promote global collaboration in higher education, mathematics, and community engagement. In 2017, I presented my research at the International Conference on Mathematics and Engineering (ICOME 2017) in Istanbul, Turkey. During the same year, I participated in several international workshops, seminars, and networking activities under the Strengthening Urban Engagement of Universities in Africa and Asia (SUEUAA) project, hosted by partner universities in the United Kingdom and South Africa.
My engagement with the SUEUAA initiative continued in 2018 through participation in the International Workshop and Networking Event in Manila, Philippines. In 2019, I attended the SUEUAA International Forum in Harare, Zimbabwe, where I delivered an oral presentation at a symposium jointly organized by the University of Glasgow and the University of Zimbabwe and supported by the British Academy.
These international engagements have expanded my academic network, enhanced my research experience, and strengthened my commitment to international collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the role of universities in addressing urban and societal challenges across Africa and Asia.
