Biography

I obtained my bachelor’s degree B.Ed. (Physics/Mathematics) in 2011 at the Kenyatta University, in Kenya. I obtained the degree B.Sc. Hons (Physics) in 2015, the degree M.Sc. (Physics) in 2017 and my PhD (physics) in 2020 at the University of the Free State, South Africa. I had served the Teachers Service Commission of Kenya as a teacher of Physics and Mathematics at Moyale Boys Secondary School from May 2012 to May 2014. At the University of the Free State I served as Laboratory and Research Assistant. Currently, I am a Physics lecturer at Murang’a University of Technology since January 2021.
