Dr. Athraa Jasim Mohammed
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
Athraa Jasim Mohammed is senior lecturer of computer science department at University of Technology. In 1998, she obtained her Bachelor Degree of computer science from University of Technology, Baghdad, Iraq. Then, she was awarded with a Master of computer science (Intelligent Systems) from Universiti Utara Malaysia, Malaysia in 2012. She then pursues her academic journey of Ph.D degree of Computer Science and has been granted the award in 2016 from Universiti Utara Malaysia, Malaysia with research in adaptive Firefly algorithm for Hierarchical text clustering. She has published articles for international journals and conferences. Currently, her focus is in the area of swarm computing that origins from the behaviour of insects and animals in nature.
