How powerful is persistence? Where might God lead a man who saw a vision of what might be and pursued that dream in the face of disappointments? This is the story of Dr. Tim Abate, from Ethiopia to Minnesota to the campuses of Stanford and MIT. A life that resonates with Jeremiah 33:3 where God says, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and will tell you great and mighty things you do not know.”
Dr. Iwnetim (Tim) Abate is an incoming Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the Principal Investigator of the Abate Group. His work combines electrochemistry, X-ray and electrochemical characterization with quantum mechanical simulations to design materials for decarbonization and sustainability. He completed his Materials Science and Engineering Ph.D. at Stanford. He was born and raised in Ethiopia. He is married to Dr. Loza Tadesse. They have one daughter, Mary.
