Info
Mike received his 4-year BSc (first class Hons) in 2014 from Kyambogo University in Uganda with the support of the meritorious Uganda government undergraduate scholarship (only for the best 1% of students countrywide) and emerged as the top best student amongst all graduating students during that year with CGPA of 4.71/5.00 (Vice Chancellors List). In 2015, he received the international Chinese government scholarship to continue his studies. He later obtained his MEng in materials science (CGPA 91.6/100) from Donghua University, Shanghai-China in 2018 with his thesis focusing on fibrous materials for flexible energy storage applications under the co-supervision of Prof. Meifang Zhu (Academician CAS) and Dr Shengyuan Yang. He is currently a PhD candidate at the Australian National University, Canberra with the major focus on semiconducting 2D materials for future photovoltaics and receiving his research support from the Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship. He also explores photoluminescence spectroscopy studies of various semiconductors (for example; silicon, perovskites, and other similar emerging novel materials) and fluorescent polymer materials for a wide range of applications. Mike still does active research in the field of energy storage (batteries and capacitors).
