Get to Know Gadisa

Hello there! I'm Gadisa, and I hail from the beautiful rural landscapes of Ethiopia, where my roots have shaped the essence of who I am today. My journey in academia and professional endeavors has been quite an enriching one. I embarked on my academic path at Hawassa University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree, laying the groundwork for my passion in Civil Engineering. Following my thirst for knowledge, I pursued higher education at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I attained my Master’s degree. Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. degree at the University of Colorado Boulder working on the National Science Foundation project that focuses on the study of Living Building Materials for structural applications. My journey so far has equipped me with a diverse skill set and a keen eye for detail, essential traits in the ever-evolving landscape of Civil Engineering. As I continue to tread on this path of learning and exploration, I am interested in making meaningful contributions to my field and society at large. So, you knew me!
