Biography
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Jimma University, where I graduated as a Gold Medalist from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering for outstanding academic performance. Completed my Master’s degree in Mechanical System Design at Jimma University, where my research on the effect of oxide scale growth on the creep behavior and rupture time of superheater boiler tubes was evaluated as Excellent, with a strong focus on material behavior, thermal engineering and solid mechanics specially fracture.
In addition, I attended an exchange program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Twente, the Netherlands, which provided valuable international academic exposure and enhanced my research and practical engineering skills.
I am currently engaged in lecturing mechanical design–related courses for mechanical engineering students, with a focus on Agricultural Machinery Design. Alongside teaching, I am actively involved in applied research and engineering projects, including the design and manufacturing of enset processing machines, multipurpose chopping and grinding machines for livestock and poultry feed, and bulla/kocho drying and milling machines. These projects aim to support local agro-processing, sustainability, and appropriate technology development.
