ASP 2018 in Namibia - Experience by Adriano Pamain

My name is Adriano Pamain from Tanzania. I am a PhD student at University of Dodoma, Tanzania. My current research is on Photo-voltaic in which I am characterizing and modeling the Performance of different PV technologies. I did my Masters in Material Science and Engineering at Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology and my Research was in Natural Dyes Co Sensitization in Solar Cells Application: Uv-Vis Spectra and Outdoor Photo-voltaic Performance.   

Being among participants of the African School of Physics and Application (ASP-2018) I would like to thank the Member of the International Organizing Committee under leadership of Professor Ketevi Adikle Assamagan for granting me the opportunity to participate in this amazing event. Thanks also go to the local organizing committee under leadership of Dr. Eli Kasai for helping us in many situations and adaptation to Namibian environment including food and weather condition. They did a wonderful job for arranging good excursion during weekend days and we really enjoyed it. Thanks to UNAM students assistant for everything they did for us. Lastly but important thanks to our Sponsors who always make this school possible.

It was my first time to participate this wonderful professional event.  I have been really exposed to many things especially on fundamental physics and its applications. It was quite amazing and fascinating to meet different experienced lecturers and speakers from different remarkable institutions all over the world. I cannot explain enough their commitment for ASP through their lectures and tutorial provided.  The knowledge we got from them will be remembered forever.

I also got to meet so many wonderful students from Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Benin, Egypt, Togo, Senegal, Madagascar, Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Sudan, Uganda, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Brazzaville, South Africa, USA and Namibia.   They greatly inspired me a lot both socially and academically through their area of specialization in Physics.

As a special added value, this school gave me an opportunity to network with these colleagues, which is an exceptional opportunity for horizontal exchange of experience. I am  looking forward to meet them in future.
