I am a Research Scientist in the SSC Laboratory at the iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences in Faure, Cape Town. I obtained my PhD in Nuclear Structure Physics from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. I specialise in the broad and fine structure of giant resonances with expertise in the Isovector Giant Dipole Resonance. My current research focuses on resolving discrepancies between (p,p') and (g,xn) reactions. My ORCID ID number is 0000-0001-8761-8257 and my Scopus ID number is 56227581900.
