I was raised in Mekelle, a northern Ethiopian city amidst a big loving family. I am awed by science and learning more of it is a thrill. I did my undergrad in Israel, in a renowned technological institute, Technion. I came to the US to do my master's in Washington State University. I am a newly wed and excited to start this new life with my sweetheart.
