Dr. Tigabu Redae Alle | Forestry | Editorial Board Member

Amhara Agricultural Research Institute | Ethiopia

Tigabu Redae Alle is an Ethiopian forestry researcher with more than a decade of professional experience in forest science, biodiversity, ecosystem management, and climate-change–oriented forestry research. Since 2013, he has served at the Sirinka Agricultural Research Center (SARC) under the Amhara Agricultural Research Institute, progressing from junior roles to Associate Researcher in Forestry and holding leadership responsibilities such as Coordinator of the Forestry and Agroforestry Research Directorate. He holds a PhD in Forest Sciences from Sokoine University of Agriculture, an MSc in Forest Management and Climate Change, and a BSc in General Forestry. contributing to journals such as Trees, Forests and People, Heliyon, Abyssinia Journal of Science and Technology, and Ethiopian Journal of Science & Technology. His research focuses on agroforestry systems, invasive pests, forest resource management, Ziziphus fruit tree species, Eucalyptus pest ecology, climate change adaptation, biodiversity assessment, and sustainable forest utilization. He has received prestigious scholarships from EEFRI, SIDA, ILRI, and WCDI, along with certificates of appreciation for training and community contributions. Tigabu aims to advance sustainable forestry solutions, strengthen climate-resilient landscapes, and support rural livelihoods through science-based forest management.

Mr. Ayomide Olubaju | Remote sensing | Best Researcher Award

Abiola Ajimobi Technical University | Nigeria

Olubaju Ayomide Emmanuel is a dedicated and innovative researcher specializing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing, with growing recognition for his contributions to geospatial science. He holds an M.Tech. in Surveying and Geoinformatics (Remote Sensing) and a B.Tech. in the same discipline from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. Currently serving as an Assistant Lecturer at Abiola Ajimobi Technical University, Ibadan, he combines teaching and research to advance environmental monitoring and sustainable urban planning. His research interests encompass environmental degradation, climate change impact assessment, urban informatics, multi-sensor remote sensing, forest species monitoring, and machine learning applications in geospatial analysis. Olubaju has authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed publications focusing on urbanization, forest ecology, and mining-induced land degradation, accumulating 3 documents, 4 citations, and an h-index of 2. He has participated in national and international conferences, workshops, and collaborative projects addressing climate resilience and spatial data science. A member of professional societies including ISPRS, IAENG, and the Nigeria Institution of Surveyors, Olubaju’s academic and professional journey reflects a commitment to interdisciplinary research and data-driven solutions for sustainable environmental management. His goal is to pursue a Ph.D. to deepen his expertise and contribute to innovative geospatial applications in global environmental research.
