I have a PhD degree from the University of Nottingham / UK (July 2016) in the areas of BIM application, design change management, and collaborative design. My MSc in structural Engineering (2000) and my BSc in Civil Engineering (1997) both were from Baghdad University.

I have experience in Structural Design, Construction, and Supervision of engineering works besides teaching at the university for many years. I have seven years’ experiences working with the World Health Organization (WHO / UN) in Baghdad, Jordan & Erbil. Moreover, I worked with four consultancy companies/bureaus in Iraq, UK and France before I start working in the academic area.

 I am skilled in using ETABS, STAAD Pro and GSA software for analyzing and designing structural projects. I am conversant in modeling with Revit software and also proficient with AutoCAD 2D&3D, which I have used for nearly twenty-five years.
