Directs the Washington office’s relations with the diplomatic corps and works with the media and academic institutions to promote the cause of the Iraqi and Kurdish people.  Takes part in efforts to raise the awareness of American public and policy makers on developments inside Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan.

Has participated in international conferences relating to Iraq, including the recent Iraqi Opposition conference in London in 2002. On many occasions has presented speeches on Iraqi and Kurdish issues to think tanks and Universities in America.

Has been interviewed on National and International TV and Radio Networks, such as CNN, FOX News, and NPR

1993-2001


Representative of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in France

As Paris representative, liaised with the French government as well as with the diplomatic corps in Paris on matters pertaining to Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan.  Advocated on behalf of the KRG and PUK for increased support from the French Government to the Kurdish people.

Arranged and attended many meetings for the PUK Secretary General with Presidents, Prime Ministers, Minister of Foreign Affairs and other cabinet level officials of the French government.

Periodically briefed members of the French National Assembly, on developments in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan.

Initiated contacts with international organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations and sought to involve them in the reconstruction of the Kurdish region.

On many occasions represented the PUK in international conferences and has discussed Kurdish and Iraqi issues with many world leaders and policy makers.

1978 -1993


European Representative of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan

Worked to raise awareness of the plight of the Kurdish people, initiated contacts with European governments as well as with political and academic institutions.

Representing the PUK, attended three-key Iraqi opposition conferences; 1991 in Lebanon, 1992 in Vienna and Salahaddin Iraqi Kurdistan.

Professional and Academic Experience:
1969- 1971: Physics and Science teacher at secondary school in Suleimani – in Iraq

1971 - 1976: Demonstrator at the College of Science, University of Suleimani (Iraq). Duties including teaching undergraduates aid preparation of physics Laboratory courses iii Nuclear Physics and Electronics.

1976 – 1978: Head of the” Converting Foil Division” at the French Aluminum Company in Nasiriya (Iraq). During 1976 received training in Paris and Grenoble in France.

1981 Admitted to M. Sc. studies at the Department of Physics, University of Stockholm, low energy division (Nuclear Physics and Applied Nuclear Physics) with Professor Tor Ragnar Gerhoim, head of low energy division as supervisor.

1983 Admitted to Ph.D. studies at the same department and introduced to a research group for the development of Depth- selective Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy (DGEMS) and studies of electron and positron scattering in solids.

1983-1986: Assistant (part-time) at the mentioned department (i.e., Nuclear Physics Division). Duties: preparation and holding Nuclear Physics laboratory courses for undergraduates.

During the research period, engaged in two related fields: the development and application of computational methods for electron and positron scattering and energy loss in condensed matter (using a Monte-Carlo simulation program) as well as improvement and application of the method DCEMS.

In 1988, held the post of a researcher at the Department of Physics (Nuclear Physics division), University of Stockholm.  With employment in a research project contracted to the “Swedish Nuclear power Inspectorate- SKI” that extended to 31-12-1992. The project was called “Probabilistic safety analysis of final repositories”. The project is a continuing effort in a long-term program for the development and application of a model system “SYVAG/SU” for the handling of probabilistic uncertainties in connection with the transport of radio nuclides from a repository for high- level waste. The aim is to develop a model system for handling uncertainties for the Swedish Nuclear power Inspectorate (SKI) and its application within project -90 as well as future regulatory activities.

Different methods for dealing with uncertainties are investigated. The sub models used or going to be incorporated into SYVAG/SU based on the KBS-3 concept.

2004: Dr. Mohammad S Ismail has been appointed as Ambassador by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

2004_ 2010: Ambassador Ismail has served as Ambassador of the Republic of Iraq to                         the People's Republic of China.

2010- 20013:  Head of Asia &Australasia Department at the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

2013 – 2016:  Permanent Representative of the Republic of Iraq to the United Nations Office in Geneva
