Biography

Kwad is an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual who has a clear understanding of the role and responsibilities associated with being a civil engineer. Having the ability to provide support for multiple concurrent priorities, Jalil is able to establish, maintain and develop effective working relationships with service users, operational teams, delivery partners and colleagues. He possesses a broad range of technical, personal effectiveness and leadership skills and uses rigorous logic and methods to come up with effective solutions to difficult problems. As someone who is comfortable with and able to effectively cope with change, He has a long track record of making the best use of any available resources and techniques.

Kwad is a PhD with particular interests in assessment and management of civil infrastructure systems such as steel bridges, novel composites materials in the civil engineering and construction field. He is working as a lecturer at University of Anbar, Civil Engineering Department. He holds a master’s degree in Structural Engineering from Al-Anbar University and an Higher Diploma in building and construction engineering, specialised in computer aided water networks design and analysis engineering from the University of Technology, and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from University of Anbar. In 2014, Jalil was awarded a scholarship by the Higher Committee for Education Development in Iraq (HCED IRAQ) to conduct a Ph.D. study at the University of Exeter.

Personal Accomplishment

  • STEM ambassador Aguste 2017- present: Since I started my role as a Steam Ambassador, I become one of the UK- wide network of volunteers, I am with a passion for Engineering and/or Maths (the STEM subjects). My duty is to inspire young people to continue studying STEM subjects, help them to explore the applications of their studies in the wider world and build understanding of the role that these subjects play in everyone’s lives. Also, running Engineering activates will increase my confidence and understanding of related topics as well as delivering talks to students will enhance some of my soft skills, like delivering presentations in public. One of my planed activity is Milking It at St. James school, which will allow my club to explore how to make plastics and experiment with different ideas for applications.
