Work experience
From September 2014, lecturer at faculty of science (biology department) Soran
University.
Many research projects regarding bacterial demonstration on the basis of clinical and
new techniques under sustainability were conducted, by using bacteria to gas
production including Hydrogen production as an essential energy to be used instead of
fuel, wastewater treatment systems to diminish the health problematic pollutants
within environment.
Teaching Undergraduate:
2014-2024: I worked as Assistant lecturer/ lecturer at Biology dept. in Soran
University.
Lecturer at Biology department of Faculty of Science/ Soran University and Medical
Laboratory Technique department in Soran Technical Institute as a visitor lecturer for
General Microbiology and Medical Microbiology, Virology, Microbial physiology,
Microbial ecology, Advance topics of microbiology and Environmental sustainability.

characterize microorganisms, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), biochemical
tests to identify microorganisms).
• Environmentally friendly techniques, removing pollutants from environment
(air, Soil and water). Bioremediation, phytoremediation, decolorization and
Gas production).
Computer:
Bioinformatics tools and software that belong to computer skills, such as
• NCBI (National Center for Biological Information) and BLAST, they used as
a source for obtaining information about microorganisms, enzymes and
proteins.
• GenBank (deposit the identified bacterial sequences for obtaining accession
number from GenBank)
• MEGA software, End note, Mendeley,
• Statistical analysis software; SPSS and Graph pad.
Languages:
• English: Speaking, Writing, and listening (communication).
• Arabic: Writing, listening and speaking.
• Kurdish (mother language).
