I am a Corporate law and arbitration expert. I am very, very much fascinated by international arbitration: commercial, maritime, and investment. The more I read about arbitration, the more I want to know. I would also like to specialize in the subject matter which I think is helpful to Ethiopia in the future. In my personal life, I like to hang out with my friends and have fun. After all, I think life is short.
Moreover, I like to read books, watch movies, travel a lot, which has become recent addiction, and learn new things. I also want to learn how to make a good documentary, which I want to develop as a hobby. I also like to blog here at Abyssinia Law.

I am interested in using comparative, economic, and legal approaches and insights to understand, explain and assess institutional, policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks governing various activities. In the past, I was a research fellow in the United Nations, working on climate governance and regulatory affairs, and a lecturer of law at Mekelle University and University of Surrey. I studied comparative law and economics at Addis Ababa University (LLB, 2001); Ghent University (LLM, 2004); Erasmus University of Rotterdam, Ghent University and University of Manchester (EMLE, 2009); and University of Surrey (Ph.D., 2011).
