My research interests focus on enhancing teaching and learning in higher education through innovative pedagogical approaches and emerging educational technologies. I am particularly interested in teaching methods, active learning strategies, and modern pedagogical practices that promote student engagement, critical thinking, and academic achievement. A key area of my work explores the integration of artificial intelligence in education, including the use of generative AI to support teaching, learning, and assessment. I am also interested in teacher education and professional development, with an emphasis on preparing educators to effectively adopt evidence-based instructional practices and technology-enhanced learning environments.

Since 2016, I have supervised undergraduate students at the College of Basic Education, University of Duhok. My supervision experience includes guiding graduation projects, mentoring academic research, and supporting students in the development and application of effective teaching methods. Through this role, I have helped students strengthen their research capabilities, critical thinking skills, and professional competencies, enabling them to successfully complete their academic projects and achieve their educational objectives.
