Abdu Hussen Ali

Abdu Hussen Ali is a chemist, researcher, and academic specializing in inorganic chemistry, nanomaterials, and environmental applications. He obtained his Bachelor of Science (BSc.) degree in Chemistry with Distinction from Hawassa University, Ethiopia, in 2016. He subsequently pursued advanced studies at Haramaya University, Ethiopia, where he earned his Master of Science (MSc.) degree in Inorganic Chemistry with Distinction in July 2019. His postgraduate studies provided him with extensive academic and research experience in chemistry and functional materials.

Following his MSc graduation, Abdu joined Mekdela Amba University, Ethiopia, as a Lecturer of Inorganic Chemistry, where he gained six years of experience in university-level teaching, research, and academic activities. In September 2022, he joined the University of Gondar, Ethiopia, to pursue his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry, where he continued to develop his research expertise and academic career. Since September 2025, he has also been a Research Fellow at Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT), China, where his current work focuses on materials science and engineering, particularly the synthesis and application of advanced nanomaterials.

His research interests include the design and synthesis of semiconductor, plasmonic, and polymer-supported nanomaterials for environmental remediation, photocatalysis, wastewater treatment, and chemical sensing. He has published more than 17 scientific articles and authored two laboratory guidebooks available internationally in five languages. His current research focuses on the controlled synthesis and optimization of plasmonic nanomaterials using approaches such as the continuous variation method and tannic acid stabilization for wastewater treatment and other environmental applications.
