I was born in the UK in 1985. I received my B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the University of Mosul in 2008. I received my M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the Technological University of Malaysia in 2011 and 2015, respectively. I was awarded the best student award owing to the outstanding performance in my Ph.D. studies. I visited the University of Central Oklahoma, United States, for 10 weeks as a 2019 Fulbright visiting scholar. My research interest includes digital image processing (image enhancement and restoration). Currently, I work full-time at the Department of Computer Science, College of Computer Science and Mathematics, University of Mosul. I have authored many articles published in high impact international journals.
