Mr. Tadesse Bizuayehu | Green Chemistry | Best Researcher Award

Debark University | Ethiopia

Mr. Tadesse Bizuayehu is a committed lecturer and researcher at Debark University, Ethiopia, specializing in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry with a strong emphasis on green synthesis, coordination chemistry, and biological applications of nanomaterials. He earned his MSc in Chemistry from Bahir Dar University under the guidance of Prof. Atakilt Abebe, where his thesis focused on the synthesis, characterization, and biological activity of cobalt(II) complexes using 1,10-phenanthroline, adenine, and acetamide ligands. His scholarly contributions include eco-friendly synthesis and characterization of silver-doped manganese oxide, lead oxide, and zinc oxide nanoparticles using plant extracts such as Rumex Nervosus Vahl and Verbascum Sinaiticum, exploring their antibacterial and antifungal properties. Mr. Bizuayehu has also co-authored a comprehensive review on traditional medicinal plants of Ethiopia and their therapeutic significance, and conducted molecular docking and DFT studies on newly synthesized mixed ligand complexes. His work further involves quantum chemical calculations and comparative reactivity analysis of ligands like 1,10-phenanthroline and adenine. Beyond research, he actively participates in community service, providing scientific training, skill development workshops, and academic support programs. His research interests encompass the synthesis of coordination compounds for biological and solar applications, density functional theory development, phytochemical extraction from medicinal plants, and sustainable nanomaterial synthesis. Proficient in Chemdraw, Origin, SPSS, and Gaussian, Mr. Bizuayehu is recognized for his diligence, scientific curiosity, and contribution to advancing environmentally friendly chemical research in Ethiopia and beyond.
