Mr. Jifar Raya
I am an Astrophysicist and PhD candidate in Radio Astronomy at Jimma University, in collaboration with the University of South Africa (UNISA).My research focuses on understanding the role of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in galaxy evolution, using multi-wavelength observations from instruments such as the MeerKAT Radio Telescope and the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT).
Beyond research, I am passionate about astronomy outreach and education. I actively promote science engagement among students and the public through lectures, workshops, and school outreach programs.
