Date of Birth: June 29/ 1978
Place of Birth: Damot Gale, Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia
Sex: Male
Marital Status: Married
Nationality: Ethiopian
Research Interests:
My research interest focuses on exploring complex matrices such as food, water, soils, environment, biodegradable materials, and plants using advanced instruments. I am interested in synthesis and characterization of medicinal plants, elemental analysis, nanomaterials, photocatalysis and characterizing, soil fertility status, dynamics of nutrients in the soil, and separation of metals from the environment. Moreover, synthesizing compounds, validating the method, and using low-cost technology for scientific methods.
