Professor Tamirat Tesfaye is currently serving as the scientific director of EiTEX-BDU. In just 16 years after getting his bachelor degree, he became the youngest professor ever in the university at the age of 37. He reached at the top of the academic ladder, publishing 94 articles on reputable journals and contributing 18 more as book chapters and proceeding papers. As a child, his dream was to pursue studies in dentistry or biomedical fields but influences from his older brother and senior dorm mates at BDU led him to join engineering fields particularly textile engineering.
