What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters skill development and innovation.

I am a resourceful and capable Physics researcher with a strong background in simulation tools and a growing proficiency in programming languages like Python. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of Advanced Materials and Renewable Energy Systems, which I have effectively communicated through written and oral presentations of my research findings.

Currently, I serve as a Research Project Leader at the University of Venda, where I analyze environmental and performance data related to photovoltaic technology. My goal is to leverage data science to address pressing global challenges, and I am committed to fostering my skills in an empowering work environment that values innovation and collaboration.
