Dolla , Tarekegn Heliso (PhD)
Mr Dolla was born and grew up in southern Ethiopia. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Applied Chemistry at Hawassa University in Ethiopia and obtained a master’s degree in Inorganic Chemistry from Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia. In his doctoral study, Mr Dolla investigated the synthesis and characterization of ternary spinel metal oxides and explored their application as electrode materials for energy storage. Different synthetic methods were developed to prepare mixed transition metal oxides based on spinel structure, by varying composition, which tunes their structural and electrochemical properties. The developed mixed metal oxides were shown to have interesting magnetic and electrochemical performances as electrode materials for next-generation supercapacitors. The work was presented at two local, and one international conference and was published in peer reviewed journals.
