My name is Dr. Diary Ali, professor, and I’m currently working as an instructor in the Department of Geology, College of Science, at the University of Sulaimani. I have 22 years of experience working in the field of water resources, teaching hydrology, hydrogeology, and groundwater modeling courses, as well as researching. In 1997, I became a demonstrator at the college and went on to earn an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in water resources from the University of Baghdad in 2002 and 2008. I have published thirty-four papers in international and local journals and sixteen conference papers, and I have supervised sixteen M.Sc. students and three Ph.D. students inside and outside of Iraq, like in Germany, the Netherlands, and Hungary. I am an active member of several national and international societies, like the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), the World Commission on Protected Areas, the Iraqi Water Resources Society, the Knowledge Enrichment Academy, the International Water Resources Association, the Iraqi Geological Society, and the Kurdistan Geologists Society. I enjoy reading, and the knowledge and perspective that my reading gives me have strengthened my teaching skills and presentation abilities. I participated in many conferences, workshops, and training courses outside of Iraq. I have good computer skills and work with a lot of software like MODFLOW, ROCKWORK, SURFER, AQUIFERTEST, PHREEQC, and STATISTICA. I speak Kurdish, Arabic, and English.
