Tsegaye Nega, 
Associate Professor of Environmental Studies, has been granted a prestigious Fulbright “Core” award to conduct teaching and research in Ethiopia in 2017-2018. Working primarily at Addis Ababa University, Prof. Nega will teach environmental science courses (including courses on geospatial analysis and modeling) and, with students there, develop an urban simulation model of Addis Ababa. While in Ethiopia, Prof. Nega will also advance a budding social enterprise that fabricates fuel-efficient cookstoves and biomass pellets, and will continue to build long-term relationships between the environmental studies programs at Carleton and Addis Ababa University.
