This academic recognition profile presents the supplied bibliometric information for Girma Megersa of Salale University, Ethiopia, whose stated subject area is waste-to-energy. The profile summarizes the available publication and citation indicators and outlines the relevance of waste-to-energy research to resource recovery, environmental management, and sustainable energy systems. The researcher’s bibliographic record can be consulted through the Scopus author profile.[1]
Abstract
This article presents an academic recognition profile for Girma Megersa, affiliated with Salale University in Ethiopia, in connection with the Innovative Research Award and the research subject of waste-to-energy. The supplied Scopus profile records six documents, 30 citations, and an h-index of 1. These indicators provide a limited quantitative overview of the indexed publication record and citation activity associated with the author identifier. Waste-to-energy research broadly examines approaches for recovering energy and useful materials from waste streams, with potential applications in resource efficiency, waste management, and sustainable energy development. The available information does not identify specific publications, individual research findings, or independently verified award adjudication outcomes; accordingly, this profile distinguishes supplied bibliometric data from general subject-area context.[1][2]
Keywords
Girma Megersa; Innovative Research Award; Salale University; Ethiopia; waste-to-energy; waste valorization; renewable energy; resource recovery; sustainable development; bibliometrics. [2]
Introduction
Waste-to-energy is a broad field encompassing technologies and processes that convert suitable waste materials into usable energy, including heat, electricity, and fuels. Depending on feedstock composition and process design, relevant approaches can include anaerobic digestion, thermal conversion, gasification, and energy recovery from residual waste. Their suitability depends on technical performance, environmental controls, economic feasibility, and the waste-management system in which they operate.[2][3]
Research Profile
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]
Conclusion
This academic profile summarizes the supplied information for Girma Megersa of Salale University, Ethiopia, with waste-to-energy identified as the relevant subject area. The reported Scopus indicators comprise six documents, 30 citations, and an h-index of 1. These data provide a starting point for reviewing the research record but should be interpreted alongside the contents, methods, originality, and documented outcomes of individual publications.[4]
