Srwa is an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Koya University in Iraq since 2015. She gained a B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Baghdad, Iraq, and an M.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham, UK. After her graduation, Srwa worked in the Ministry of Environment Water Quality Department, in Iraq. She later worked at the Ministry of Natural Resources, drilling fluid Lab. Srwa is a member of the Institution of Chemical Engineering (IChemE). Her research interests lie in industrial safety and management, oil and gas processing, process simulation and modelling, and renewable energy. Srwa is currently studying a 2nd level master CBRNe course at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and is about to undertake a three-month training program with the Organisation for Proliferation of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
