I am a curious cosmic explorer seeking answers to the deepest, most intriguing and most fundamental questions about physical and natural reality at its most elementary (quantum) and grandest (cosmic) of scales.

I hold a PhD (2020) in Fundamental Theoretical Astrophysics from the National University of Science and Technology in Zimbabwe and this qualification is the first such qualification to be granted on Zimbabwean soil. I obtained my B.Sc. (Hons) in Physics (2000) from the University of Zimbabwe and my M.Sc. in Astronomy and Astrophysics (2003) from the North West University in South Africa. My research is predominately theoretical --- the meaning of which is that I not only construct theoretical models that make the temerarious endeavour to explain the world around us, but test these models against the ruthless yardstick of Mother Nature. I am not confined to any particular field of physics, but work across the entire spectrum of physics for so long as what I am pursuing leads me to pear much deeper into the fabric of reality. I seek to uncover the most Fundamental Laws of Nature.

I mostly teach theoretical inclined courses such as: Newtonian Mechanics; Solid State Physics; Statistical Thermodynamics; Classical Thermodynamics; Special and General Theory of Relativity; Relativistic and non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics; Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology; Research Methods; Time Series Analysis. I am currently supervising a PhD Thesis in Fundamental Theoretical Astrophysics and an M.Phil. Thesis in Fundamental Theoretical Physics.
