SIXBERTH MLOWE

Senior Lecturer, Dar Es Salaam University College Of Education

Education:

University of Zululand, South Africa, 2012-2016, Ph.D.(Materials Chemistry)

Teaching:

• Systematic Inorganic Chemistry
• Coordination Chemistry
• Solid State Chemistry
• Industrial Chemistry

Research:

Materials Chemistry: - Designing of synthetic routes to semiconductor nanomaterials using single source precursors, application of nanomaterials for photocatalysis and energy fields. I also have great interests and works on green synthetic protocols using plant extracts in nanomaterials for bio-applications. My research interest also extends to the Computational studies for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells.
