Mr. Getahun Ayele Tessema | Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR) | India

Getahun Ayele Tessema is an emerging researcher and PhD Candidate at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR), specializing in energy efficiency and sustainable built environments. He holds a B.Tech and Master’s degree with distinction and previously served as a Lecturer at Adama Science and Technology University, where he earned the Best Teacher Award for his academic excellence. Currently supported by the prestigious ICCR Africa PhD Scholarship from the Government of India, he continues to advance impactful research in the Built Environment Lab at IIT Roorkee. His academic and professional journey reflects consistent excellence, with active engagement in research, teaching, and community-oriented scientific contributions. He has completed or is working on five research projects, published two journal papers, and maintains a growing citation record accessible through Google Scholar. His collaborative work spans international and institutional partnerships, and he holds memberships in two professional organizations aligned with his research areas. Getahun’s research focuses on energy-efficient buildings, energy modelling, energy-use behaviour, and energy analysis. His contributions offer significant insights into the determinants of household energy-saving behaviour in Ethiopian urban settings. By integrating personal norms with the Theory of Planned Behaviour, he has developed a comprehensive framework that helps understand and influence energy-conscious behaviour. This work supports the development of national energy conservation strategies and provides a scientific basis for formulating building energy codes—an urgent need for sustainable urban growth in Ethiopia. His findings aim to guide policymakers, enhance occupant awareness, and contribute to cleaner energy access through practical, community-responsive solutions. Through his multidisciplinary research, academic leadership, and commitment to sustainable development, Getahun exemplifies innovation, scholarly excellence, and societal impact.
