Her academic credentials comprise:

• PhD in Accounting, 1991, Kiev, Ukraine

Professor Alzubaidi specializes in technology-driven accounting research with emphasis on practical computational tools.

This focus bridges theoretical accounting frameworks with executable digital solutions for financial data management.

Her committee engagements reflect deep institutional involvement in academic governance and resource allocation processes.
