The work was on the synthesis of CNTs by nebulised spray\npyrolysis and the use of the CNTs as supports in catalysis. He was a senior\nlecturer at the University of Johannesburg for 111 years and is currently\nemployed in a similar position at the Tshwane University of Technology. His\nduties include undergraduate classes as well as the supervision of\nnanotechnology-related research projects.
