University of Botswana | Botswana

Dr. Moletlanyi Tshipa is a distinguished Theoretical Physicist from Botswana, specializing in quantum physics, condensed matter, quantum computing, quantum gravity, and the optical properties of quantum structures. He holds a BSc (2003), MSc (2008), and PhD in Physics (2018), all from the University of Botswana, where he currently serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics. With a career spanning over two decades, he has progressed from Teaching Assistant and Demonstrator to Lecturer and Senior Lecturer, mentoring numerous students and supervising advanced projects in quantum systems, relativity, nanomaterials, and cosmology. His research has produced more than 25 scientific documents with 92 citations and an h-index of 6, including publications in prestigious journals such as Optical and Quantum Electronics, Universe, Physica Scripta, and Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter. Dr. Moletlanyi Tshipa’s contributions include pioneering work on photoionization cross-sections, quantum dots, nanoshells, and black hole thermodynamics. He has also served as a peer reviewer for leading journals and authored a book chapter on photoionization in nanostructures. Recipient of the International Research Award on Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (2023), he is recognized for advancing fundamental science and quantum technologies. Outside academia, he enjoys reading physics literature, philosophy, poetry, observing nature, and art.
