Biography

Dr. Jovine Kamuhabwa Emmanuel is a Senior Lecturer of Physical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at Mkwawa University College of Education in Iringa, Tanzania. He is based in the Department of Chemistry specializing in Physical Chemistry particularly in Heterogeneous Catalysis using Nanomaterials He has investigated Titania supported Gold and Platinum Nanoparticle size effects in the Oxidation of Carbon monoxide in gaseous phase in the State-of-the-Art Nanomaterials Laboratory at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom. Besides, he has Investigated the Metal Corrosion Inhibition in Acidic Media using Natural Corrosion Inhibitors. Currently, he is working Bioenergy generation including; Biogas generation from different bio-wastes and Bioethanol production from different bio-substrates. Jovine’s research interest include; Heterogeneous Catalysis, Nanomaterials and Nanofabrication, Metal Corrosion Inhibition using Natural Corrosion Inhibitors, bioenergy sources, and renewable bioenergy generation. He holds a Doctorate in Chemistry from the University of Southampton, United Kingdom. Dr. Jovine holds a Master of Science (Chemistry) and Bachelor of Science (Chemistry & Biology) with Education from the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. He teaches Chemical Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics and Electrochemistry, Physical Chemistry and Chemical Separation Courses. Before joining the University teaching carrier, Dr. Jovine worked as Fisheries Officer (Fish Inspector) in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism head quarter (Dar es Salaam) and Lake Victoria Zone (Mwanza), in Tanzania. Dr. Jovine has widely published in the area of Metal Corrosion Inhibition using Natural Inhibitors, Catalysis Using Titania supported Nanoparticles Catalysts based on Gold and Platinum and Biofuel generation from Biomaterials.
