Faheem Bukhatwa received his primary and
secondary education in Libya and completed it in 1973. He then
started an apprenticeship training in aircraft maintenance with
“Aerlingus” (The Irish Airlines) at Dublin Airport. The training was
completed in February of 1978 when he joined the Libyan Arab
Airlines as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
In April 1979
Faheem was appointed the Technical Manager in the airlines,
responsible for six sections and over 600 employees. His main aim
then was to improve performance and coordination of the technical
services and maintenance of the airlines fleet. He was also
responsible for setting up the basis and the initiation of a scheme
involving the gradual replacement of the maintenance and technical
crews by trained and qualified local personnel.

Bukhatwa left Libyan Arab Airlines in 1982 to further his
educational career. In Ireland and in 1987 he received his B.Sc.
degree in Computer Science from the University of Dublin (Trinity
College). He received his M.Sc. degree in Computer Science from The
National University of Ireland - UCD (University College Dublin) in
1991.
The M.Sc. research project under the supervision of
Dr. Patel of UCD, Ireland, involved the investigation, design and
implementation of an X.32/X.25 protocol based mobile communication
station with dial up access. It involved the study of communication
networks and network management. The project was jointly developed
with “Cornel Electronics Ltd.”, of Tallaght in Dublin Ireland.
In February 1991 Faheem joined Euristix Ltd. of Dublin and
took part in the Project team (PT 13V) of the European
Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) at Sophia Antipolis,
France. The team produced a draft European Telecommunication Report
(ETR) based on the Open Network Provision (ONP). The draft ETR
specifies the ONP X.32 requirements for network operators. The
project team also produced a draft European Telecommunication
Standard (ETS) for the standards required for the X.32 based
terminals. This document is considered the Candidate NET 6 (the
European Telecommunication Standard 6)
In September 1994
Faheem joined the department of Computer Science at the University of
Garyounis in the city of Benghazi, Libya, as an assistance Lecturer.
In 1997 he was nominated, and has been awarded a scholarship to
pursue a Doctorate degree which he is presently pursuing.
