Outline Biography

I am Emad Omer Hama-Ali, I received my Bachelor Degree of Agriculture (Crop science) in 2001 with First Class Hons. I was employed as Lab assistant at University of Sulaimani in 2002; I received Master of Science in in the field of Plant Breeding and Genetics at University of Sulaimani in 2006. I enrolled as a PhD student at the University Putra Malaysia at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences in the year 2009 and I received a PhD degree in Molecular Genetics and plant Biotechnology in 2013.

I believe that knowledge and education will not be delivered just from textbooks and lectures; it must include practical, hands-on experience that challenges the students, especially in Agriculture science to build next generation. I think a good lecturer elucidate new terms clearly and show enthusiasm for their subject.

I think we must have long term plan for research and development next to teaching, especially in environmental biotechnology, and provide a various fields of studies which facilitate national development in the new millennium.
