I am Adane Sewhunegn Molla, a researcher specializing in environmental health, waste management, and environmental engineering. I have recently submitted my Ph.D. thesis at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Newcastle, Australia, where my research focused on the environmental impacts of construction and demolition waste fines residue from material recovery facilities in New South Wales. My academic journey includes MSc degrees in Sanitary Engineering from UNESCO-IHE, Netherlands, and in Water Supply and Environmental Sanitation from KNUST, Ghana, as well as an MSc in Chemical Engineering (Environmental Engineering specialization) from Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. I also hold a BSc in Environmental Health Science from Jimma University. Throughout my career, I have served as a Senior Lecturer and Environmental Health Program Coordinator at Hawassa University, Ethiopia, contributing to research projects, university governance, and consultancy services. My research spans solid waste management, environmental pollution control, water quality assessment, and sustainable sanitation technologies. I have authored and co-authored several peer-reviewed publications in international journals and book chapters, including works on the ecotoxicological impacts of construction and demolition waste, chemicals of concern in waste fine residues, and sustainable sanitation solutions. I am passionate about interdisciplinary collaborations and am keen to conne
