RESEARCH INTERESTS (Use few sentences to express your research interest)
I am interested in applied ecology as it pertains to the conservation and management of species.
Specifically, I am interested to assess the impact of climate change and habitat modification on
biodiversity using species distribution models, which are used by governments, land managers
and conservationists. My geographical area of interest is across Ethiopia.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES (Use few sentences to express your skills)
I am good in GIS, MaxEnt modelling and statistical packages including R, Statistica and SPSS.
Additionally, Endnote is my favorite referencing tool.
