| Current Summarised CV: |
Dr-Ing Lwitiko Pholds Mwakyusa is a lecturer at the Department of Physics, University of Dar es Salaam. My research work focuses on the development and characterization of materials for renewable energy and photocatalysis. Currently, I am interested in:
- Kesterite-based solar cells—my research work involves the fabrication and characterization of kesterite solar cells.
- Preparation and characterization of the undoped and doped TiO2 thin film to understand the photocatalytic properties of the materials.
- Development and characterization of transparent conducting oxide based on ZnO and ITO
- Preparation and characterization of the materials for radiative cooling purposes
- Design and fabrication of solar cookers
