Work in the Treat-ability Lab know as TEL (Technology Evaluation Laboratory) where environmental remediation strategies are tested, developed and proposed. Our range of abilities include: Chemical oxidations testsBioreactor testingWastewater treatment processes for organics and inorganicsLeaching studiesSoil stabilization/fixationMetals biogeochemistrySorption isotherms for resins and activated carbonTitrations and pH based reactionsCustom or one-of-a-kind testsPhytotoxicityTPH adsorptionOzone compatibilityBiodegradation and bioconversion

After hours work which involves marking and assessing Grade 11 assignments and tests

Lecture food microbiology to final year students in preparation for industry and supervise B-tech and M-tech projects.

I worked on the expression of viral proteins and enzymes in methylotrophic yeasts P. pastoris and H. polymorpha. The aim was to use the expression platforms for the production of virus-like particles for vaccine production as well as enzyme production for commercial interest.
