  • Research
  • Environmental laboratory management
  • Project coordination
  • PhD student supervision
  • MSc student supervision
  • Creating university and industry partnership

Fasil, along with other colleagues in the department, covers courses relevant to the study of water and wastewater engineering.

BYG-3613 Centralized Wastewater Treatment System

BYG-3608: Water Supply System Engineering

BYG-3610: Analysis of Water Quality Parameters

BYG-3612: Decentralized/On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems

Fasil is also facilitating the new Master's study programme in Water and Wastewater Engineering.

Research Projects

Fasil engages in various projects in the faculty.

Fasil is a coordinator of the One Health education and research project, funded by NORAD through the NORHED II programme. Additionally, he is involved in the ENFORCE, BRIDGE, and PEERS projects.

    Research interests

    Interested in a holistic approach to addressing complex environmental challenges, I focus on various aspects including water and wastewater treatment systems, the water-food-energy nexus, water quality analysis and modelling, hydrological modelling, the impact of climate change on water infrastructure, and health risk assessment and management in water/wastewater systems. My aim is to identify management targets for improving water supply systems and living conditions.
