Alfred Z. Msezane is Professor at the Department of Physics at Clark Atlanta University, and Director at the Center for Theoretical Studies of Physical Systems.[1]
Education
Msezane obtained his BSc (Hons) at University of South Africa in 1964, and his MSc in physics at University of Saskatchewan in 1968, and his PhD in physics at University of Western Ontario in 1973.[2]
Msezane moved to Georgia State University in 1974 for his postdoctoral research, became a physics instructor at the University of New Brunswick in 1976, served as a visiting professor at Louisiana State University from 1978 to 1980, and joined the faculty of Morehouse College as an assistant professor of physics in 1980.[3] In 1983 Msezane became professor and served as chair of the physics department from 1986 to 1989 at Atlanta University, which was merged with Clark University in 1988 to become Clark Atlanta University.[3]
Research
Msezane has published more than 260 papers and given more than 280 presentations at national and international conferences.[4] He researches theory of mathematical physics, solid matter, and image processing.[3] Msezane developed a theory to better understand heavy, negatively-charged ion formation.[5]
