The researcher is a part-time Lecturer/PhD student currently working on the Perovskite solar cells, specializing in synchrotron analysis analysis of the samples. The samples are prepared both at Masinde Muliro Materials Research Laboratory and Molecular Foundry and the analysis done at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He did his Master of Science degree at MMUST where he graduated with a Master of Science (Experimental Physics). The master research was funded by the International Program of Physical Sciences (ISP). The masters research was on Light Beam Induced Current/Voltage analysis of the silicon solar cells. He has represented the MMUST physics department in various conferences internationally, including the energy, crystallography, JUAMI school and synchrotron school and conferences. He is one of the pioneers of the MMUST perovskite research team, and he is the Activity Lead of the MMUST materials Research Laboratory. The greatest milestone he has achieved for the university is his brain child idea to seek collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, CA, USA, through which MMUST signed a five year (renewable) user agreement with LBNL. This will see MMUST researchers from all fields do research at this world class facility free of charge. He has won The Academy of Science (TWAS), International Programme of Physical Sciences, International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), JUAMI and LAAAMP grants and awards.
