Dr Emmanuel Igumbor is an experienced Teacher and Postdoctoral Fellow with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. He is skilled in Materials Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Statistical Data Analysis, and Computational Physics. Strong research professional with a Bachelor of Science-BSc focused in Mathematics and Statistics, Master of Science-MSc focused in Theoretical Physics and Doctor of Philosophy - PhD focused in Physics from University of Pretoria
My main research area is Theoretical and Computational Physics, focusing on modelling and simulation of point defects in wide and narrow band gap semiconductors, transition metals and graphene-based materials. I study these materials for possible discovery of new improved functional semiconductor for applications in nano and optoelectronic. My projects involve using the density functional theory (DFT) and post-DFT to predict the structural, electronic, and optical properties of these materials to understanding their behavior and improve their performances to meet the current and future technologies. The understanding of the theoretical predictions of new semiconductor materials in collaboration with experimental groups is a focal point of my research activities for the past ten (15) years.
My research is focused on the discovery of new functional materials that could improve the application of nano electronic and nanophotonic. The study will focus on the discovery of interesting defects that may influence positively the new functional material. The research will cut across thin film and semiconductor processing, transport of excess charge carriers, discovery of novel behaviors and insight for defect gettering of the new materials.
My CFD research focuses on multidisciplinary public health projects aimed at controlling infectious diseases, particularly airborne pathogens, using Euler-Lagrangian methods and the Discrete Phase Model (DPM) for particle tracking. Additionally, my research includes CFD studies on hydrocyclones for mineral exploration, heat pipe heat exchangers for nuclear reactor applications, and collaborative projects with the ATLAS team at CERN, involving ITK humidity sensors, thermal management, and flushing systems.
