At Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS), I teach physics and supervise undergraduate research projects and dissertations. My own dissertation examined the effectiveness of using a bed of rocks as a gas stove for institutional cooking.

On the UNDP Clean Cooking Technologies Project, I led field teams collecting data on clean cooking technology adoption across Malawian communities. I also contributed research findings to a national clean cooking and household energy access initiative.

At Qubix Robotics, I taught electronics and Arduino programming and supported students taking part in robotics competitions and exhibitions. I graduated with distinction in Industrial and Environmental Physics and received the FDH Academic Excellence Award as the highest-performing student in my department.
