 Projects:

1. Oct – 2008, at the University of Buckingham, I have involved gaining a four years European Grant project (COST IC0803) in addition to 12 European academics and industries partners. The Project title is RF/Microwave Communication Subsystems for Emerging Wireless Technologies (RFCSET).

2.  June-2003, I was one of University of Oklahoma’s team who had applied to the Al-SHARAKA project that was the US government fund to support the higher education in Iraq. At that time, it was a very highly competitive among the US Universities to win the project. Eventually, it was awarded a substantial grant with 5M$ to support five Iraqi university. I have got the IT-manager post for the project. 

Previous Position:

1. Lecturer at the Computer Department, University of Sulaimanya – Kurdistan –Iraq, teaching Computer Networks and Wireless technologies. Supervisions for the final year undergraduate projects.
2. Consultant (Contract) at KTRC-Kurdistan Technology and Research Centers, designing the infrastructure for a wireless network for the Foundation of Technical Institutes, Sulaimanya- Iraq
3. IT-specialist (Contract) with Oklahoma University (USA) – Baghdad Office, Installation and configuration Wireless Networks in five university Campuses in IRAQ
4. Lecturer at the University of Technology – Baghdad – Iraq, Computer Department for the teaching of Computer Networks, Security and Mathematics
5. Electronic designer Consultant (per project) at the Engineering Consultancy Bureau- University of Technology – Baghdad – Iraq
6. IT specialist and Instructor at the Engineering Consultancy Bureau, Al-Mustansiriyah University, Iraq. We had a lot of contracts and joint ventures like electronic design, software implementation, DSP algorithms, and simulation using MATLAB/C/C++.
