Letter of Recommendation for Muluken Melesse

Dear Admissions Committee:

It is my great pleasure to recommend Muluken Melesse for admission to the University of

Leicester, as a Ph.D. graduate student focusing in the area of Water Engineering. I know
Muluken Melesse for more than four years as very good student doing his undergrad and
master. I was delighted to serve as his mentor working with him at the University of Debrebirhan
in Ethiopia. Muluken is an intelligent and committed student during his research work at the
University of Debrebirhan. He understands the Environmental modeling procedures and he could
run the modeling software. I appreciate his understanding of academic and research experience.
I have observed him as an extraordinary research experience and ability in programing skills to
analyze data. Muluken has been teaching Environmental Science and Engineering at the
University of Debrebirhan. Muluken was appointed as a teacher and researcher at the University
of Debrebirhan in Ethiopia. He quickly engages in-depth discussions related to his research works
and he is an excellent student with academic writing and verbal skills.
Muluken would be a tremendous Ph.d student to your program, he brings to all his activity’s
energy, enthusiasm, commitment and I highly recommend you accept his Ph.d. graduate student
to Water Engineering program without reservation. His combination of intelligence,
commitment, perseverance, creativity, and compassionate character will certainly make him a
valuable member of any academic program. I am very confident that he will make an excellent
addition to Oklahoma university community. I encourage you to look favorably upon his Ph.d.
program application. Please feel free to contact me through Teshome.L.Yami-1@ou.edu if you
have any questions regarding his academic and research experience at the University of
Debrebirhan.
