Mr. Kasye Shitu Mulat is an accomplished Irrigation Engineer and GIS & Remote Sensing Specialist with extensive academic, research, and professional experience in water resources, climate change impacts, hydrological modeling, and sustainable agricultural development. Born on 02 October 1991 in Borena Mekane Selam, Ethiopia, he currently serves as a Lecturer and Researcher at Assosa University, where he contributes to teaching, scientific research, and community-centered development initiatives. Mr. Kasye earned his Bachelor of Science in Water Resource and Irrigation Management from Aksum University with Very Great Distinction (CGPA 3.64). He later completed his MSc in Irrigation Engineering at Haramaya University, achieving an “A” thesis grade and a CGPA of 3.79. Further expanding his scientific expertise, he obtained a second Master of Science in GIS and Remote Sensing from Wollo University. His multidisciplinary background positions him at the forefront of research linking climate dynamics, hydrological systems, and agricultural water management. He has authored more than 11 peer-reviewed publications and has four additional manuscripts under review in reputable international journals. His research outputs span topics such as climate change impacts on irrigation potential, hydrological modeling of river basins, statistical downscaling, kriging-based spatial analyses, land use/land cover dynamics, and soil–water interactions. His works have contributed to improving understanding of the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Borkena Catchment, and other key Ethiopian watersheds. In addition to academic research, Mr. Kasye has led impactful community engagement projects, including free-energy garden irrigation initiatives and wheat production enhancement programs across Benishangul-Gumuz. These interventions have strengthened food security, improved smallholder livelihoods, and promoted climate-resilient agricultural practices. With advanced skills in ArcGIS, SWAT, HBV, R, GAMS, CropWat, and hydrological modeling software, he collaborates with agricultural offices, university research committees, and interdisciplinary teams. His contributions continue to influence regional water resource planning, climate adaptation strategies, and sustainable development efforts in Ethiopia.
