about me

My name is Tadelle Haddush, and I am from Mekelle, a city in the northern Tigray region of Ethiopia, which has been at the epicenter of the ongoing war between the Ethiopian federal government and the TPLF rebel group.

I work as a lecturer in condensed matter physics at Mekelle University, one of Ethiopia’s renowned universities.

I hold a Bachelor of Education in Physics from the then Debub University in Ethiopia and a Master’s degree in Condensed Matter Physics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I have served at my university for over two decades. I have recently registered for a PhD in Computational Materials Physics at my university.

I believe this online course will help me strengthen my skills in an area where I need further development: computational physics. After completing my PhD, I hope to support other students in their studies and contribute to my country and the world through research, consultancy, community service, and teaching, particularly in predicting material properties using computational physics.

I am grateful for the opportunity to take this online course free of charge.
