Bio:

I am graduate of Agricultural Science (Agronomy) with PhD from Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, India, I completed MSC and BSC study at Hawassa University in Plant Science (Agronomy) and Plant Production Dry Land Farming, respectively. I had been in Southern Agricultural Research Institute (former SARI) for six years as Crop Science Researcher under crop improvement section. I also worked as laboratory technician in Soddo Regional Veterinary Laboratory. Currently I am working in Arba Minch University in Associate Professor Academic Rank and serviced over 16 years in teaching, research and community outreach activities and published 12 papers. I do have extensive experience in research, teaching, and experimental field management which has enabled to lead and deliver learning and teaching, student advisorship and consultancy services. I am a person with sound social interaction, rational thinking, and sensing responsibility addicted to work hard with appreciable personality.
