About

I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at Haramaya University, with over 15 years of academic, research, and consultancy experience. I hold MSc degrees in Rangeland Ecology and Management and Environmental Resource Management, and I am currently a PhD candidate in Biodiversity Management. My PhD research focuses on the assessment of drought. and the application of nature-based solutions (NbS) for drought risk management in East Africa. I also completed a PhD exchange program at the Department of Geography, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), from May 2023 to February 2024. My broader research interests include environmental hazards such as droughts, floods, landslides, and desertification across East Africa. I integrate geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and advanced environmental modelling using tools such as Google Earth Engine, Python Colab, and RStudio. I apply machine learning and deep learning techniques to monitor and model climate-driven hazards and their impacts on ecosystems and livelihoods. I am also a licensed Senior Ecosystem and Biodiversity Management and Environmental Pollution Consultant. I have led and participated in multidisciplinary research projects funded by international and national agencies. Collaborations include institutions like NTNU, Makerere University, ILRI, and Frankfurt. Zoological Society. My work informs policy and enhances resilience and sustainable resource management through collaborative, evidence-based approaches.

Metrics description
h-index
A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.
i10-index
The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.
m-index
The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.
o-index
The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.
g-index
For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g2 citations.
w-index
If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
