Degrees:
2015
Doctorate Chemical Sciences
The degree included topics from natural product chemistry and extractives in the use as wood preserves. Isolation was done to try and assess the use of naturally occuring products in the treatment of antibacterial infections.
2008
Master Chemical Sciences
I worked on determination of algal toxins in both fish and fresh water lakes from LAke Victoria and L.Mburo.
2002
Undergraduate Chemical Sciences
