WORK HISTORY
Research Scientist & Project Manager @Instituto De Salud Carlos Iii
Madrid, ES
Project Overview: I conducted a comprehensive thesis project focusing on landscape ecological risk assessment. This project, executed remotely, aimed to reinterpret ecotoxicological results for assessing the combined effects of pesticides at the population level.Key Contributions:Model Development: Designed and developed an optimized ecological model tailored for effective risk assessment in environmental contexts.Data Extraction: Extracted raw data from approximately 200 regulatory risk assessments from EFSA conclusions on two pesticides.Innovative Analysis: Integrated findings into innovative ecotoxicological dose-time-response distributions for mixture toxicity assessment.Manuscript Preparation: Currently finalizing the manuscript for publication, summarizing the project\'s findings and methodologies.

ABOUT AWOT GEORGE
As a dedicated Environmental Scientist, I am committed to tackling complex environmental issues through cutting-edge research and dynamic collaboration. With a Master of Science in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology from Universidad del País Vasco and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Eritrea Institute of Technology, I bring a robust educational foundation and a global perspective to my work. As a Researcher at Instituto de Salud Carlos I leveraged my expertise in data analysis, scientific reporting, and cyanobacteria culture techniques to pioneer landscape ecological risk assessments. My role involves extracting and analyzing data from regulatory risk assessments, and developing innovative ecotoxicological models that inform science-based policies to enhance environmental health. Throughout my career, I\'ve spearheaded projects that range from optimizing ecological models for risk assessment to conducting comprehensive soil and aquatic toxicity tests. My contributions are rooted in a meticulous approach to research and a passion for translating complex data into actionable insights. I am proficient in R and ArcGIS, and my multilingual abilities in English, Italian, Tigrinya, and Amharic enrich my collaborations within diverse, multidisciplinary teams. My unique blend of technical skills and cultural insights equips me to drive sustainable solutions in environmental science and toxicology. My goal is to continue pushing the boundaries of environmental research, contributing to innovative solutions that promote a healthier planet.
