Summary
Environmental Engineering MSc graduate with a BSc in Applied Chemistry and nearly a decade of experience in petroleum quality assurance. Currently working at the Ethiopian Petroleum Supply Enterprise (EPSE), where I focus on fuel quality compliance and environmental impact mitigation. I am passionate about sustainable energy transitions, climate innovation, and clean technology—particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. I am eager to engage with the international academic community through the University of Groningen Summer Schools to further explore the complexities of energy transition, engage with real-time energy challenges, and global perspectives on the challenge of a hydrogen economy.
