Biography:

I graduated with Bachelor's degree

In geology from Sulaymaniyah University (2002), then I got my Master degree at Salahaddin University (2010).

In 2017- obtained a Scholarship to conduct academic research on Hydrothermal carbonate rocks and calcretization processes in Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences as a Research Award Recipient for a period of 5 months at Alberta University-Canada. I have recently obtained my PhD at ULB-Brussels University. My work is specifically focuses on hot diagenetic setting in carbonate rocks.
