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.

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.

Study of volcanic activity and its impact on populations in the East African Rift, in particular, numerical and analogue modelling of magma propagation in rift zones. Recent project: E-DOOR (UNESCO-IGCP) (2023-2025).

The research activities in Geophysics at ICTP-EAIFR are divided into 2 research axes: 1) the geodynamic context of the East African Rift and its western branch, and 2) the volcanic context in the eastern region of Rwanda bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Mont Nyiragongo, a stratovolcano in the Virunga volcanic chain, is very active.
