TEACHING AND EDUCATION

I was involved in the teaching of Industrial chemistry courses for the program of BS Industrial Chemistry as well as general chemistry courses for other programmes at the Department. I have been involved in the teaching of a postgraduate course - CHM 6001 (Recent Advances in Chemical Research) since its inception in 2002. In addition, I have taught other courses such as Kinetics, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. I have also been involved in the training of researchers (from other departments and institutions) in protein purification techniques, the techniques of protein modification as well as in bioorganic syntheses. I was also involved in organizing workshops that trained participants in the production of low cost instruments to be used in chemistry laboratories. I have participated in designing courses for training laboratory assistants in the use of instrumentation.
