Prof. Hussein S. A. Golicha

Professor Hussein S. A. Golicha holds a doctorate degree in physics, specializing in Chemical Physics from Egerton University, Masters in Physics from Kenyatta University and Bachelors in Education, Maths Physics, from the University of Nairobi. His areas of academic and research interest are in the fields of Chirality (handedness of nature) and material science.He has supervised multiple post graduate students to successfull completion. His major scholarly contribution was his role in the study of Chiral molecules using liquid crystals as hosts, not to forget his contribution to teaching and learning of physics at secondary level through his books. As a hobby Prof. Golicha likes writing fiction, has a novel: "the tongue between the teeth" and the blog: https://drgolicha.wordpress.com Before joining Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) in 2021, Prof Golicha served as Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic and Student Affairs, at Garissa University. He is currently the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic and Student affairs, MMUST.
