I am working as an international expert on climate change, environment and energy for International and Bilateral Agencies including ADB, JICA, GIZ, and UN agencies as well as for Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) in Asia and Africa for more than 10 years.
My works were published in prestigious international journals and reported to policy makers, including the Ethiopian President in person at his presidential palace. You can find my latest achievements in LinkedIn and my popular publications in Google Scholar.
I am fond of outdoor activities such as surfing and cycling. I love living in a multi cultural societies and am learning languages, and their cultures.
