A faculty member from the Marine Sciences Center participated as a member of the doctoral dissertation defense committee as part of the joint scientific collaboration among the units of the University of Basra.
Assistant Professor Dr. Manaf Qasim Jaber, a faculty member at the Marine Sciences Center/University of Basra, participated as a member of the committee reviewing the doctoral dissertation of graduate student Star Jabbar Badr
titled “A Study of the Thermoluminescence and Photoluminescence Properties of Organic Materials and Their Potential Applications as Radiation Screener.”
The thesis aimed to study the physical properties, investigate and determine the characteristics of “thermal luminescence” and “photoluminescence” of the organic materials selected for examination in the study, and measure the extent to which these organic materials respond to and are affected by radiation when thermally or photochemically stimulated. It also sought to test and investigate the potential for using these organic materials in practical applications as radiation dosimeters.
The Dean of the College of Pure Sciences at the University of Basra presented a letter of thanks and appreciation to Dr. Manaf Qasim Jaber for his efforts in reviewing and evaluating the dissertation and for enriching the discussion with valuable scientific information.
