 POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS:

 

Mr. Sosthène Irambona

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supervisor: Dr. Steve Ndengué

His work falls in the area of condensed matter physics and quantum simulations where he is specifically interested in understanding the photocatalytic splitting of water on the surface of a solid substrate (heterogeneous catalyst) using classical and quantum molecular dynamics simulations.

 

 

Mr. Sunday Joseph Ogenyi

Supervisors: Dr Omololu Akin-Ojo and Dr. Nicola Seriani

 

 

 

 

 

 

His research interest is in the area of computational catalysis for renewable energy material.

 

 

Mr. Hervé Tajouo Tela

Supervisors: Dr. Steve Ndengué and Dr Ali Hassanali

 

He is working on the spectroscopy and dynamics of small water clusters. He uses and develops quantum dynamical methods to describe accurately phenomena in the gas and condensed phase with applications in atmospheric chemistry and astrophysics.

 

Mr. Murad Ali

Supervisor: Dr. Shoaib Munir

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He is interested in Flavor Physics, Dark Matter, Collider Phenomenology in particular the CERN LHC, Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model and Composite Higgs Models. Currently, he is working on B Physics anomalies and LHC phenomenology for Leptoquarks in UV completed models, i.e. Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model (E6SSM).

 

Ms. Wala Fathelrahman Ibrahim Elsayed

Supervisors: Dr. Steve Ndengué, Dr. Omololu Akin-Ojo and Dr. Nicola Seriani

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her research project concerns an ab-inito attempt to understand the interface properties of the photocatalytic systems, Fe3O4-SiO2 and Fe3O4-TiO2 heterojunction, and how the chemical and physical aspects are affected by the solid-solid reaction. This understanding will allow the optimal utilization of such materials in their applications.
