Dr. Mohammed Jawad<\/em>: A Brilliant Scientific Force Unhindered by Age or Retirement from Creativity and Knowledge<\/strong>
Supervision: Asst. Prof. Rami Ali Taqi<\/em>
Prepared and Interviewed by: Asst. Lecturer Rand Qusay Majeed<\/em>
Edited by: Ahmed Mohammed Zamim<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to his teachers and his personal dedication, he mastered the English language fluently from a young age. He was passionate about poetry, music, and reading\u2014especially the works of renowned sociologist Dr. Ali Al-Wardi. He specialized in teaching and has graduated many students, including doctors, engineers, and professionals in other prominent fields.<\/p>\n

His advanced age never deterred him from pursuing higher education. After obtaining his postgraduate diploma, he went on to earn a master\u2019s degree and crowned his academic journey with a PhD in 2024.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s feature is none other than Dr. Mohammed Jawad Hussein<\/em>, a student at our institute throughout the postgraduate diploma, master\u2019s, and doctoral levels.<\/p>\n

When did your scientific passion begin?<\/strong>
In response to this question, Dr. Mohammed said:
“Since childhood, I was passionate and had a love for reading since my school days. During every school holiday, I would read a book by various authors, most often by Dr. Ali Al-Wardi.”<\/p>\n

What were your first academic steps?<\/strong>
He replied:
“I was accepted into the University of Basrah in 1966, majoring in Biological Sciences. The medium of instruction was English, and most of our professors were either British or Indian. The Iraqi professors were mainly based in Baghdad, so I developed a deep understanding of the English language.”<\/p>\n

What were your first steps in teaching?<\/strong>
“I was appointed to Al-Saadiah High School and worked in Jalawla for three years. Afterward, I left teaching and traveled abroad to Libya, where I spent four years. Then, I moved to the Netherlands, where I studied pathological analysis through specialized courses, along with courses in mechanics and electricity. When I returned to Baghdad, I also taught at the Gifted Students School in the Al-Harithiya area. At that time, the Gifted Schools in Saudi Arabia requested teachers from Iraq, and I was selected to go. The state covered all travel and related expenses.”<\/p>\n

What drove you to pursue graduate studies despite your age?<\/strong>
“I always loved studying. I completed my postgraduate diploma between 2013\u20132015 at the Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology for Postgraduate Studies at the University of Baghdad, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Nouriya Abdul-Hussein. I then completed my master\u2019s degree at the College of Education for Pure Sciences \u2013 Ibn Al-Haytham, University of Baghdad, under the supervision of Dr. Asaad Kazem Al-Ghazzi. Afterward, I returned to the Institute of Genetic Engineering to complete my PhD, supervised by Dr. Kamel Muttashar Al-Jubouri, specializing in biology.”<\/p>\n

Where do you currently work?<\/strong>
“Currently, I teach at Al-Ameen University College, specializing in Forensic Biology<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

How would you describe your love for reading?<\/strong>
“I have always loved reading. I devour books with great interest\u2014science brings me as much delight as sweets bring to others. This passion drove me to pursue postgraduate studies even after retirement. If there were a degree higher than a PhD, I would pursue it without hesitation.”<\/p>\n

What occupies you now?<\/strong>
“Currently, I\u2019m focused on a bio-physical field: quantum physics<\/em>. I have a research project in this area. Earning my PhD was one of my dreams, and my family supported me throughout. They were my motivation to complete my graduate studies.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
