Girma Megersa is identified in the supplied information as a researcher affiliated with Salale University, Ethiopia. The stated research subject for this recognition profile is waste-to-energy. The associated Scopus author identifier is 57551540400, which provides a route to the indexed author record and its available publication metadata..[4]

Research Contributions

The stated subject area, waste-to-energy, is relevant to research on energy recovery from residual resources and the environmental management of waste. Research in this field may examine conversion technologies, waste characterization, process optimization, recovery of valuable by-products, emissions reduction, and the life-cycle implications of alternative waste-treatment strategies.[2]

Publications

The supplied profile information reports six documents associated with Scopus author ID 57551540400. However, individual publication titles, author lists, journal or conference details, publication years, and digital object identifiers (DOIs) were not included in the input data. These bibliographic details should be retrieved from the author record and checked against the original publication records before a complete publication list is published.[1]

Research Impact

The supplied figures of six documents, 30 citations, and an h-index of 1 provide a quantitative snapshot of the research record associated with the identified Scopus author profile. Citation counts can help indicate whether publications have been referenced by later research, while the h-index combines publication output and citation activity under a single measure. Neither indicator should be treated as a complete assessment of scientific merit or influence.[4]

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award, presented in the context of the World Green Energy Awards, is the recognition category specified for this page. The stated connection to waste-to-energy provides a subject-area basis for discussing the relevance of the research profile to sustainable energy and resource recovery. Formal award eligibility and selection, however, should be established through the organizer’s documented evaluation process rather than inferred solely from bibliometric indicators.[3]
