Dr. Awoke is an environmentalist, microbiologist, and biologist with broad research interest in biological wastewater treatment, nutrient removal from waste stream, struvite recovery from wastewater/hydrolyzed urine, alkaliphilic microorganism for textile dye removal, heterocyclic compound treatment using advanced oxidation process (AOP) and biological systems, membrane bioreactor, membrane fouling, analyzing bacterial wilt disease from enset, moringa use as water purification, analyzing metabolites from medicinal plants etc.

Dr. Awoke Guadie's research works has been published (>50) in a reputable SCI journals, been cited more than 1640 times, and has an H-and I10-index factor of 21 and 36, respectively (Google Scholar). So far, his research team have conducted a number of research projects related to Nitrogen and phosphorus treatment using FBR-MBR combo system (Guadie et al., 2013 at Bioresource Technology; Guadie et al., 2014 at Environmental Sciences; and Guadie et al., 2014 at Bioresource Technology); dye degradation using pure alkaliphilic/consortia microbes (Guadie et al., 2014 at Biotechnology Reports; Guadie et al., 2018 at Chemosphere; Tizazu et al., 2022 at Journal of Environmental Management; Tizazu et al., 2023 at Heliyon); anaerobic-aerobic wastewater treatment for agricultural purpose (Guadie et al., 2021 at Science of the Total Environments; Guadie et al., 2021 at Journal of Water Process Engineering); antibiotic and heavy metal decontamination (Minal et al., 2020 at Journal of Environmental Management; Ding et al., 2021 at Journal of Hazardous Material; Minal et al., 2021a and b at Chemosphere; Minal et al., 2021 at Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering); biochar for total nitrogen removal from secondary effluent (Aijibade et al., 2020 at Bioresource Technology); heterocyclic compound treatment with AOP and biological techniques (Guadie et al., 2021 at Journal of Environmental Management; Ren et al., 2020 at Environmental Research); phosphorus recovery as struvite from various waste streams (Guadie et al., 2021 at Environmental Research; Yesigat et al., 2022 at Environmental Research); environmental carcinogenic compound on cancer (Fangninou et al., 2022 at Journal of Hazardous Material); and bioelectrochemical system for wastewater treatment (Cai et al., 2020 at Applied and Environmental Microbiology; Xu et al., 2020 at Environmental Research). In addition to these, Dr. Awoke Guadie's research team also working on medicinal plants (Guadie et al., 2020 at Journal of Herbal Medicine), enset bacterial wilt disease (Gemeda et al., 2021 at Journal of Environmental Management; Gemeda et al., 2023 at Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology; Gemeda et al., 2023 at Agricultural Systems); multidrug resistant TB (Demile et al., 2018 at BMC Infectious Disease); food fermentation (Tadesse et al., 2024 at Heliyon; Albene et al., 2024 at Annuals of Microbiology); land use land cover change (Belayneh et al., 2018 at Journal of Forestry Research; Yigez et al., 2021 at Journal of Soils and Sediments; Zhu et al., 2024 at Applied Soil Ecology; Richard et al., 2024 at Journal of Earth System Science) etc. In addition, several of his latest research efforts are currently under review, and in preparation for publication.

Dr. Awoke Guadie also mentored 27 (21 M.Sc and 6 Ph.D) students at Arba Minch University and other Universities in Ethiopia, and 12 graduate (3 Ph.D and 9 M.Sc) students mentored abroad, which makes a total of 39 students got his advisory service.
