My research area of interest is renewable energy. Since energy is the engine of everything that does many works. For my research specifically on Organic Solar Cells’ power conversion performance using Plasmonic Nanoparticles at different layers of inverted Organic solar cells, I am studying the title “Unraveling Plasmon-Coupled Power Conversion Efficiency Enhancement in Wide-Band Gap Polymers-Based Organic Solar Cells: Both Experimental and Computational Approaches” at Addis Ababa University under the supervisors of Prof. Newayemedihin Aberra Tegegn and Dr. Nika Bekri Abdullah from Ethiopia. This study aims to solve the world’s energy problem and the Horn of Africa, which will contribute to the future of the rift specifically Ethiopia because Ethiopia is found in the Horn of Africa and is one of the parts of the rift.

Thesis title: Dynamics of the Okavango rift system (Botswana): couplings between geodynamics, climate, and impact on the ecosystem.

Description of the research project: My research focuses on the ground deformation of the Okavango Rift Zone (northern Botswana) and its impact on the Okavango Delta system. The objective is to better understand the different processes at play in this region, such as tectonic activity due to the propagation of the East African Rift System, sedimentary processes and the flexural response of the crust to hydrological processes. To do so, I use a multidisciplinary approach combining geomorphological field studies, remote sensing (mainly based on topographic, InSAR and SAR data) and GPS data.

Framework: This research project results from the collaboration of four laboratories: Geosciences Rennes, LETG Rennes, the Okavango Research Institute (Botswana University) and ITES Strasbourg.

I implement seismological approaches to characterize the parameters controlling the location of the deformation in the northern Tanzanian divergence (tectonics, inherited structure, magmatism…), to estimate their contributions in the different stages of the continental breakup, as well as their possible interactions.

I work in collaboration with geochemists and petrologists. My projects also concern multidisciplinary studies dealing with the impact of these geodynamic processes on ecosystems. This includes the estimation of geological hazards and risk assessment.

I am interested in magmatic processes related to the initiation of continental rifting; Identifying the source and composition of hyperalkaline and carbonatitic magmas and complex deep fluids that can facilitate melting or weaken the lithosphere. Identification of the processes behind crustal thinning by combining petrogeochemistry, geophysics, and petrophysics.
