Academic Qualifications:
- Doctor of Philosophy in Earth Resources, University of Exeter, United Kingdom.
- Master of Science in Engineering (MSc. Eng) University of Cape Town, South Africa.
- Bachelor of Mineral Science (B.Min.Sc.) with Merit (UNZA).
I completed my Bachelor of Mineral Sciences Degree in December 1996 and in August 1997 was appointed as a Staff Development Fellow. In February 1998, I was given a USHEPIA Scholarship to pursue Master of Science degree at the University of Cape Town, which I completed in December 2000.
After completing the Master’s degree was appointed as a lecturer in the Department of Metallurgy and Mineral Processing. I lectured for about 7 years before I got a commonwealth Scholarship to pursue my PhD studies at the University of Exeter’s Camborne School of Mines, in the United Kingdom. I completed my PhD Studies in May 2011 and returned back home to continue my work at the University of Zambia. Thereafter, I have continued to lecture and carry out research in Mineral Processing and Extractive Metallurgy.
