Brief Biography
Born in the countryside of central Ethiopian highland and grew with a farming community, here I am on the net and could present my life story to the world! A long journey indeed! I traveled on foot for hours to go to school at an early age, then to a university traveling hundreds of kilometers by bus, then to universities abroad on a flight for hours including at night, and also I could live and work in Europe for over a decade! I am married and I've four children: Frijaan, Obsaan, Olmaasaa & Nimoona, the meaning respectively, 'Seeing Own's Eyes'; 'Patiently;' 'HIS (God's) deeds'; and 'We Shall Win'.
In my life journey, I faced quite a lot of challenges, but came out stronger, and finally I obtained a terminal degree and now trying to pay back to my community who paid tax, and gave me the opportunity to study when they are uneducated! What else satisfy me than such a small deed of trying to pay these community back? As the saying goes "It is never too late to realize what is important in your life and start fighting for it." and I've started it.
Currently, I am based at Jimma Institute of Technology, Jimma University (JU), Ethiopia involving in teaching-learning, research, and community service for over one decade, and now contributing my part towards achieving JU's vision: Aspiring to be a world-class research university committed to advancing transformative and sustainable development.
