Joined University of Botswana as a Physics Staff Development Fellow in 1990 and appointed Lecturer in Physics in November 1992. Promoted to Senior Lecturer in Physics in April 2011. From January 2014 to September 2019 I was Head of Physics Department. I was Appointed Acting Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Science from September to December 2017 and February 2018 to August 2019 when I was appointed Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Science for the period September 2019 to August 2022. In 2010 I chaired a group of four members assigned by the Faculty of Science to look at performance of students admitted with different grades in the first year basic sciences. I also served as Coordinator of the Radiation Physics Research Group and the Radiation and Health Physics Programme from August 2011 to December 2013. I served in the Botswana Radiation Protection Board from August 2007 to September 2017. In 2004 co-organized a workshop on Air Pollution in Southern Africa held in Gaborone in February 2004. At Community level I have among others been a member of the National Mathematics and Science Fair Organizing Committee since 2008.

Courses taught at the University of Botswana include Mechanics, Geometrical Optics, Vibrations and Waves, Electricity and Magnetism, Radiation Physics, Radiation Therapy, Introduction to Radiography, Radiobiology and Protection, Environmental Physics and Nuclear Rules and Regulations.
