Research Areas

Applied nuclear physics specializing in environmental radiation ,

Profile

Louis J Majawa, lecturer of Physics in the Physics Department at the University of Malawi. With a PhD in Applied radiation science from North-West University, my research field is in environmental radioactivity specifically on naturally occurring radioactive materials. My favorite places to do research would be around active and passive mining areas, as well as river systems cutting through industrial areas.
