Other
Despite holding a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, I pursued a Ph.D. in a discipline integrating biotechnology, microbiology, and bioprocess engineering. After acquiring my Ph.D, I pursued a postdoctoral fellowship in which I continued my study on wastewater. I am a recipient of a number of accolades and scholarships due to my superior academic performance. Biotechnology, molecular and environmental research, and wastewater treatment are my primary interests. I am currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of South Africa's Department of Chemical Engineering (UNISA).
