The Math and Computer Science Department Suffered a Great Loss

On August 30, 2019, Dr. Iyad Ajwa, Professor of Computer Science, passed away after a battle with cancer. Services for Dr. Ajwa were held the same afternoon at the Al Noor Mosque in Columbus, Oho. He is greatly missed in the department and at Ashland University.

Dr. Ajwa joined Ashland University as an Assistant Professor in 1997 and was devoted to our institution. He was a beloved teacher having been nominated twice for the prestigious Taylor Teaching Award. Dr. Ajwa was the recipient of a prestigious Fulbright Award for the 2013-2014 academic year during which he taught and conducted research at Umm Al-Qura University in Saudi Arabia. In 2005-06 he was granted a Senior Study Leave to teach at Abu Dhabi University. Dr. Ajwa's scholarly record includes numerous peer-reviewed articles, grants and contributed papers. He served as Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (2014-2019) and recently developed the curricula for two new majors:  cyber security and software design and development. The entire academic community joins the entire Ashland University community in mourning his loss.  Please keep Dr. Ajwa's wife, Nadia, and sons, Ismaeil and Omar, in your prayers.

We continue to remember him with great fondness.
