I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). My appointment has me living and working in Lusaka, Zambia where I am a lecturer in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Zambia (UNZA), School of Medicine.

At the University of Zambia since 2010, I am involved in the training of Zambia's future doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and biomedical technicians. I teach undergraduate level courses in Medical Parasitology and Research Methods, and a graduate level course in Helminthology.

I completed my doctorate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in August 2010. My doctoral research involved the study of parasite community structure, and the role of habitat variability in the determination of parasite distribution.

I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician:
he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale. Marie Curie
