[...] Professor Mulugeta Bekele completed his undergraduate studies in physics at Addis Ababa University and at Union College, Schenectady, NY, graduating in 1970. He was employed as a graduate assistant during the year 1970/71 at HSIU. He then went to the University of Maryland, College Park, MD for his graduate studies for two years and received his masters degree in 1973. Mulugeta returned to Ethiopia immediately after graduation and became a Lecturer at AAU, then HSIU. After the Ethiopian revolution, which took place in 1974 when the Emperor was removed and a military government came to power, Mulugeta was put in prison by the government for seven years. After prison, he re-joined the physics department at university and continued teaching for six years before going abroad to India to pursue a PhD at Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. Returning to AAU in 1997 Professor Mulugeta has since worked with a research group involved in polymer and biological physics that has been getting support from Swedish International Science Programme. He is a founding member of the Ethiopian Physical Society and currently serving as the society’s President. – Related: Obama Honors Physicist Solomon Bililign With Presidential Award [...]

Dr.Solomon, I am happy for you and your family. As a young girl who spend weekends visiting my brother and sister in prison, I see your story as a Herald of HOPE. I dont know if you are aware of it BUT I have observed the inability of most Ethiopians in relating their life back in Ethiopia with the USA.

Thank you – For connecting my reality of my weekend prison visits with your story of Success.

It is really an outstanding achievement that our elder brother Dr. Solomon has overcome. I am fed up of reading and listening just only negatives stereotypes of our beloved, honored and extraordinary Motherland, Ethiopia. It was not easy for Dr. Solomon to come through all such ways. However his hope and endeavor let him finalize his dream of which many many Ethiopians and I are really proud of. I wish a healthy life, peace and more dreams to be realized for ur future carrier. u have inspired me again to go forward as many other outstanding Ethiopians have done. May God be with u!!!

Our young generation is to learn a lot from you and from your effort. I love your saying: “…it is all about deciding to do it with passion.

We need to recognize DR. Aklilu Habte of the University of Addis Ababa who started the Bede Mariam Science Teachers institute program. Many graduates from the one year special high school program had come a long way.

I congratulate all the students from Bedemariam School and DR. Solomon. He was a very hard working student and a great science student. Indeed he is a great glaring role model for young men and women globally not only for Ethiopians. I say to DR. Aklilu Habte you are a great academic visionary. Thank you for all what you had provided to young students at Bade Mariam School in Sidst Kilo in early seventies.

Last not the least I would reiterate my gratitude to all the teachers who served as lecturers in the school and the UNESCO where the funding for the program originated.
