Hello! Welcome to my homepage. I am currently a Visiting Lecturer of Economics at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, United States. In Fall 2024, I will also be teaching Development Policy at Boston University. Prior to my current position, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Northeastern University (2022-2024) and a Senior Researcher at the Policy Studies Institute in Ethiopia.

My primary research focuses on development economics, labor economics, and political economy. I am passionate about exploring the economic factors that drive societal progress and developing policies that can enhance economic development and improve labor markets for gainful employment.  

I earned a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Sussex (United Kingdom), an MSc in Economics from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark), and a BA in Economics from Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia).

My Full name is Tsegay Gebrekidan Tekleselassie (Geʽez/Amharic/Tigrigna ፀጋይ ገብረኪዳን ተክለስላሴ). For ease of pronunciation, you can call me "t'se-guy" or simply "Se-guy".  As an avid runner I have completed a few marathons notably Berlin, Chicago, and New York City! I completed the 2023 Chicago Marathon in 2:59:16. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. Feel free to explore my work and interests further, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to collaborate. I look forward to connecting with you!
