In affirmation of the principle of scientific partnership and the exchange of academic expertise among higher education institutions in Iraq, the College of Engineering at the University of Baghdad continues to enhance its cooperation with Iraqi universities through the participation of its faculty members in supervision, scientific committees, seminars, discussions, and workshops.
Within this framework, Prof. Mahmoud Saleh Al-Khafaji from the Department of Water Resources Engineering at the University of Baghdad jointly supervised, alongside Prof. Diaa Majid Al-Jumaili from the University of Liverpool, the master’s thesis of student Qatada Aboud from the College of Engineering – Al-Nahrain University. The thesis was titled: “An Artificial Intelligence-Based Model for the Optimal Management of the Tigris River in Baghdad Using Smart Dam Systems.”
The defense was attended by the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Naeem Abdul-Yasir Al-Aboudi, the President of the University of Baghdad, Prof. Baha Ibrahim Ensaf, the Vice President of Al-Nahrain University for Scientific Affairs, Prof. Omar Farouk Abdul-Rashid, along with several college deans.
The thesis aims to employ artificial intelligence techniques to achieve optimal management of the Tigris River through smart dam systems, thereby enhancing distribution efficiency, minimizing waste, and aligning with the objectives of sustainable development. For his part, the Minister affirmed the Ministry’s support for applied research that provides practical solutions and translates knowledge into real-world applications.
Would you like me to also complete the closing paragraph with a statement about how this initiative reflects the University of Baghdad’s vision for academic leadership and research excellence?
