Mr. Daniel is currently a technologist at university of Namibia. He hold a Masters degree majored in inorganic chemistry of transition metals. Since his modest beginning of undergraduate research work, Daniel has been able to synthesis more than 20 complexes, then of which have been found to be biologically active against malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum). His research works attracted 7 more project students include a postgraduate student doing an Msc degree in inorganic chemistry under prof. EMR Kiremire. Due to his continue research efforts, he manage to produce 8 publications arising from his research work. Apart from being a technologist and a researcher. Daniel has a four years teaching experience at secondary school level and a two year lecturing at Polytechnic of Namibia in the school of engineering.

I am keen to begin a career in lecturing. I am a post graduated who combined studies with working and other commitments. In achieving this, I have shown myself to be self-motivated, committed and determined in achieving my goals, come what may. I have also demonstrated negotiating and organizing skills, a firm sense of responsibility, my capacity to work hard under pressure, committed to safety and proactive approach. I possess excellent verbal and written communication skills and am able to relate to a wide range of people, as proven by my varied work experiences: as lab Technologist (2 year), lecturer (2 year), a teacher (4 years), a laboratory demonstrator (1 year), a girl’s soccer coach (2 years), hostel supervisor (2 years), postgraduate student and as a researcher (5 years). I have published eight scientific publications.
