I’m Amare Shiberu from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I received my BSc degree in Mathematics from the natural science faculty of Addis Ababa University of Ethiopia-East Africa. I also graduated from the technology faculty of the same University with an MSc degree in Environmental Engineering in July, 2008. Currently, I’m working as an expert in the Ethiopian Cleaner Production Center of the national Ministry of Science and Technology.

The main tasks in the center being undertaken by me are promotion of sustainable industrial production focusing on: Providing industrial sectors with an effective Cleaner Production (CP) technical assistance to reduce waste at the source and enhance their productivity and competitiveness to the global market, Selection and Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies, Developing and Implementing the Environmental Management System and continually monitoring for improvement, and Provision of other Environmental Services such as EIA and Undertaking CP assessment and environmental audits.

I feel a great pleasure to express my eager and burning desire and interest in getting a PhD assistantship on Environmental Engineering. Being backed by further training at a PhD level, I want to contribute more to the existing national and global environmental challenges.

Therefore, I sincerely and earnestly would like to request your kind consideration to find ways of getting full scholarship assistance for me so that I will be able to pursue my PhD study on the physical behavior of one of Iceland’s largest and deepest lakes, Lake Lagarfljót. I am looking forward to hearing your kind response soon.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation,
Yours Sincerely.
