Other Information:
After I receive my Ph.D. I intend to get at least two years of experience here and then go back to Zambia to take up a faculty position at the university. I also intend to do some consultancy work in addition to teaching. My overall ambition in life is to help better the quality of life in Zambia by providing safe and reliable transportation.
