I am a geochemist, igneous and metamorphic petrologist with interest in metallic mineral deposits and environment geochemistry.
I received a Bachelor of Science degree specialised in geology and chemistry and a Master of Science degree in Geology from the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. At doctorate level I specialized in mineralogy and petrology from the Christian Albrecht University of Kiel in Germany, from which I investigated crustal evolution and metallic deposits of the Paleoproterozoic Ubendian Belt of Tanzania.
I currently save as senior lecturer and Head at the Department of Geosciences. I teach several courses including magmatic and metamorphic petrology, metallic mineral deposits, ore genesis, ore microscopy and Geology of Tanzania.
I have a diverse research interest, main research topics (at the moment) being understanding formation and evolutionary history of different geologic terrainsand their associated earth resources.
