                   Dr. Francis M. Gaitho

Dr. Francis Gaitho holds a doctorate degree in Physics from the University of KwaZulu Natal- South Africa, specializing in Computational Physics of Solar Energy Materials. His academic and research interest are in the field of surface adsorption behaviour of materials applicable to organic photovoltaics. He has over 17 years of teaching and research at University level and has published in peer-reviewed journals. He currently serves as Senior Lecturer and also as the University Timetable Coordinator in Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kenya.

Some of his key published works include: -
