Driven by a passion for understanding global and local environmental issues, I bring over 16 years of experience in remote sensing, GIS, and programming to my research and teaching. I hold a PhD in Geography from the University of Leicester and have published over 50 peer-reviewed articles in journals like The Lancet and The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
At Soran University, I serve as an Assistant Professor, specializing in teaching and mentoring students in remote sensing and GIS. Additionally, I collaborate on research with the Global Burden of Disease at IHME (UW). I hold certifications in forest mapping and air pollution monitoring from NASA. Moreover, I instruct e-learning courses in Python and R programming.
Seeking new opportunities in academia or industry that align with my expertise and mission to advance environmental knowledge and solutions.
• Revamped the lectures and syllabus, enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes.
• Taught postgraduate and undergraduate courses in Applied Programming in Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing, Climate, and Applied Climatology.
• Supervised ongoing PhD projects (2 monitoring and harvesting water), completed PhD (2 agriculture and drought monitoring), and completed Master projects (3 about precipitation, temperature, and water).
• Developed the Soil Moisture and Evapotranspiration Revealed Drought Index.
• Created courses like "Python for Scientific Research: From Beginner to Advanced" and "How To Use R Programming for Research."
• Courses have been successful with over 22,000 students from 166 countries enrolled.
• Assessed the quality of a global burned area product.
• Handled data, coded in Google Earth Engine, and wrote technical reports.
• Developed three remote sensing indices (Dry Built-up Index, Dry Bare-soil Index, Normalized Ratio Scale).
• Published four papers derived from the thesis in high-impact journals.
