Chemical engineer specializing in process engineering, research, and technical leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am a process-focused chemical engineer with an M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Adama Science and Technology University and a B.Sc. from Addis Ababa University Institute of Technology. I combine hands-on technical roles with academic research and publication experience.
In my professional work, I have served as Senior Technical Assistant and currently as Chief Technical Assistant, supporting laboratory operations, research projects, and student mentoring. I have practical experience in process engineering, resource management, and technical instruction.
My research contributions include publications on catalysts for biodiesel production, lead-free perovskite solar cells, dye regeneration kinetics, solar energy potential, charge-transfer studies with scanning electrochemical microscopy, and nanomaterial sensors for diagnostics. Two manuscripts on starch modification and carbon-nanomaterial photocatalysts are under review.
I bring strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, leadership, and teamwork skills, and I seek roles where I can apply process engineering expertise, advance sustainable energy and materials research, and support technical capacity building.
