I worked as a part time lecturer at both Baghdad University and AL-Nahreen University for three years.
And after that, in March 2003, I joined the faculty staff of the Computer Science department in the college of science, Baghdad University, and im still a member of that department
About My self:
Teaching Experience:
During my, approximately, five years of teaching in the department I taught different classes. Some of these classes are:
Data Structures , System Software, Programming languages (Visual Basic, Java, Delphi)
Awards:
Working At Harvard Experience:
My First working experience outside my university and away from teaching, classes and students, was at Harvard University when I was selected from a pool of 100 candidates to get the initial five month study Fellowship;then later was awarded the Scholar at risk Scholarship.
At Harvard I first worked with Prof Todd Zickler in the image processing field, since my Master's degree research was in 'Image compression'. With Zickler, I worked on an ongoing project that deals with real-time detection and camera calibration using coded target
After that I started working with Prof Matt Welsh and his CitySense group,I worked in this project for a year, where I wrote the interface program which is running on simple Linux box nodes and is responsible for receiving the data coming out from a Vaisala Weather Sensor attached to the nodes and parse and convert that data into a human readable format. The data represent different weather features like, Air temperature, Air Humidity,Air Pressure, Rain and hail Accumulation, intensity and duration.
Further more, and by using a php script and mysql database language and after we get that real time data from the node side we send it over wireless signals to the server side in order to be stored in the database available on the server side .
Also, I designed a website that give the use the possibility to go through the database and select to retrieve a special kind of data for any time-period. Beside that this site can be used by any authorized people to manage the node's location, attaching a weather sensor to that node and start receiving the data from it or stopping it Take a look at this site
We published a paper that is talking about the citySense project in the HotNet07 workshop, pdf
My Future Planning:
I intend to get my PhD degree and go back to my country, my students, my family, and all my nieces and nephews whom I miss very much.
