I received my B.Sc. (Hons) Degree in Applied Physics (2003) and Master’s Degree in Geophysics (2006), from the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Zimbabwe. My research interests are mainly lay in the integrated application of field-based geophysical and geochemical techniques to better understand the occurrence and distribution of both groundwater and mineral resources in the Archaean Granite-Greenstone Terrane of Zimbabwe. In addition to this, I am also interested in the use of seismology to better understand the crustal-upper mantle structure beneath the Archaean Zimbabwe Craton as well as the combined use of High-Resolution Gamma-Ray Spectrometry (HRGS)
and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) techniques for the characterization of the geochemical signatures, in particular, uranium and thorium isotopic abundances as well as the major and trace element compositions in Archaean Granitoids from the Bulawayo Granite-Greenstone Terrane.
