Dr. Tiba Jassam Kaison Al-Imari is an environmental scientist specializing in small lake ecosystems, aquatic ecology, and phytoremediation. With a background rooted in Environmental Engineering from the University of Babylon (Iraq) and the University of Technology (Iraq), and currently pursuing a Doctoral degree in Environmental Science at the University of Pannonia (Hungary), his academic and research journey reflects a deep commitment to environmental protection, water quality, and ecosystem sustainability. His work integrates chemical, biological, and morphological perspectives to understand and mitigate the impacts of pollution and climate change on freshwater systems. He has served as a Lecturer at the University of Babylon, contributing to environmental education and research capacity building. His publications demonstrate a strong focus on water and soil remediation and lake ecology, including studies such as Phytoremediation of Cr and Pb from Soil Irrigated by Wastewater in Engineering and Technology Journal; Phytoremediation of chromium contaminated soils by using Catharanthus roseus in Mesopotamia Environmental Journal; Removing chromium and lead metals using phytoremediation technique in MATEC Web of Conferences; Lake morphology as an important constraint for benthic diatoms in temperate, humic forest ponds in Ecological Indicators; Anticipated impacts of climate change on the structure and function of phytobenthos in freshwater lakes in Environmental Research; and Review of phenotypic response of diatoms to salinization with biotechnological relevance in Hydrobiologia. He has presented his research at numerous scientific gatherings, including the Symposium for European Freshwater Science, the Hungarian Hydrological Society, and the Czech Society for Ecology. Awarded the Hungaricum Scholarship, and multiple recognitions for outstanding paper reviews, Tiba Jassam Kaison Al-Imari continues to advance the understanding of freshwater ecology through innovative approaches combining environmental chemistry, limnology, and sustainable engineering.
