Staff Profiles

MSc (Mechanical Engineering), University of Glasgow (UK).

B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering), University of Botswana.

I read for my Bachelors (B.Eng) with the University of Botswana from 1994 till 1999. I was then privileged to be absorbed by the Botswana Power Corporation, where I worked from 2000 till 2005. I then joined the Department of Energy (Government) from May 2005 until April 2006, when I was offered a rare opportunity to rejoin my former department of study (Department of Mechanical Engineering - UB) as a Staff Development Fellow (SDF). I've been with the University now for just over fourteen (14) years, and am currently serving as a Lecturer.
