I am an assistant professor of molecular systematics at the Department of Plant Biology and Biodiversity Management, College of Natural and Computational Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. I received my PhD in Biology (Botanical Science) from Addis Ababa University in 2012. My research focuses on plant systematic and Ethnobotany, with a particular focus on the distribution and colonization history of the afro-alpine vegetation. I have also interest in traditional uses of plants through which the traditional ecological knowledge of local people’s reflected. Currently, I am teaching Bryophytes & Pteridophytes, Ethnobiology, and Principles of Taxonomy for the undergraduate students in the General Biology Unit. I also take part in the courses (Plant evolution, Ethnobotany and Angiosperm phylogeny) offered to postgraduate students in the Department of Plant Biology and Biodiversity Management. I am the PI of a thematic research project awarded by the Addis Ababa University with a title of “Integrated approaches of molecular systematic, biodiversity informatics and Ethnobotany”.
