Ismail A. Ali is a lecturer at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Duhok, Kurdistan-Region, Iraq. He received a PhD in Electronic Systems Engineering from the University of Essex in 2012. His MSc from the University of Duhok in 2005 was in the area of automatic verification. He received his BSc degree in electrical engineering in 1993 from the University of Mosul, Iraq. His current research interests include multimedia transmission, video error resilience and cross-layer enhancements for delivery over mobile networks.

  • Team member of the “Governance, quality, accountability: a piloting reform process in Kurdistan region of Iraq” (APPRAIS) project, co-funded by European Union with the overarching goal to support, through the cooperation with European institutions, the rebuilding and modernisation of the of higher education institutions in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
  • Establishing member of the double degree program in Biomedical Engineering between UoD and the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) University, Ginsen-Germany.
  • Certificated TOT of the “E-Learning Professional Training” program supported by the U.S. Embassy, Baghdad from April 30, 2020 to June 25, 2020.
  • Participated in the “Iraqi University Linkage Program: Collaboration in Higher Education between Michigan State University and University of Duhok Project” which included a series of workshops, seminars and meetings at Michigan State University (MSU), USA between 22/04/2013 and 2/05/2013. The outcome was reforming the curriculum of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department to be aligned with ABET requirements and the preparation of the first self-assessment report for the department.
