4 (23)

- Other:

o Register a female candidate in the group every year.

o Special gender outreach programme will be designed and carried out every year

encouraging women to use clean energy sources and clean cooking stoves.

c) Give a summary of the postgraduate education plan

Give a maximum half a page summary of the proposed activity with emphasis on the

education plan. This is a summary of Enclosure 1, Section e.

The department of Physics has continued to receive increased applications for PhD and MSc studies every year. Currently, over 25 students have been admitted for the academic year 2018/2019 at MSc levels, while eight students were admitted for PhD studies. Unfortunately, about 100% of all the applicants do not have funding and so they struggle to self finance their studies. The plan is therefore, to recruit and support some of these students in research.

In year I: 2 PhDs and 4 MSc students will be recruited while 2 students will be selected from existing MSc students who have just completed their first year of studies (mainly course work) and are yet to start their research work. The following (year 2); 2 more MSc students will be selected from existing MSc students who have also completed their first year of studies. The MSc programme is for 2 years and it is expected that both set of MSc students will be able to complete on time. Female students will be given priority at both MSc and PhD studies; one of the PhD candidates is anticipated to be female; we already have female PhD candidates who have dropped out because of lack of funding.

d) Give a summary of the gender perspective on the research and education plans

Summarize the information given on gender balance as well as strategies and measures to

achieve gender balance given in Enclosure 1, section f. Provide your answers under the

below headings. NOTE: If you are part of the mathematics or physics program and apply for

extra gender funds (Enclosure 4) you don’t need to fill in this part, just refer to the separate

gender application.

Comment on the current gender balance in perspective of previous years efforts:

Previously, the numbers of female graduates in Physics were low; and again few

showed interest to pursue graduate studies. However, the number of female

graduates has increased and more are now applying for graduate studies; every year,

the department of Physics admits at least two female students at MSc. This trend is

expected to continue.

We have two female students (One PhD and one MSc) who have enrolled in our

research group on solar thermal energy storage materials. We hope the trend will

continue.

Efforts will be made to encourage female students at the final year of undergraduate

to pursue graduate studies.


5 (23)

Reasons for current gender distribution:

In Uganda, the majority of the population (approx. 80%) live in the rural areas, with

biomass being the main source of energy being the main source of energy. According

to most tradition, women and girl child are mainly responsible for cooking. So much

valuable time is spent in searching for fuelwood. Society-imposed chores affect many

girls with rural area backgrounds hence many drop out of school before finishing

secondary school education. Socoiety also expects women reaching a particular age

to get married and start families. This societal pressure affects the number of female

students applying to pursue postgraduate studies.

The improvement noted in the gender distribution was mainly because the incentive given to the female students. The partial scholarship and the improvement in the completion rates for students encouraged more to join.

Planned strategy to achieve gender balance (if not already the case):

o We have noted an improvement in female students joining postgraduate study program. This is partly due to partial scholarship awarded to promising students.

o We plan to hold training workshop targeting mainly BSc female students in their 3rd

year from different University in Uganda and the region and interest them in photovoltaic’s systems installation and maintenance and solar thermal systems suitable for both water heating and cooking application.

o We plan to give priorities to female and have at least 40% of the graduate position to

females. This can be achieved through partial scholarship for female students. Concrete measures to achieve gender balance:

o Encourage postgraduate students to undertake research in our group. o Ensure timely supervision thereby encouraging timely graduation. o Provide partial scholarship to female students. o Sponsoring third year BSc and newly recruited MSc female students in our yearly

training workshop on photovoltaic’s and solar thermal systems.

e) Provide a number of keywords

Keywords:

Photovoltiac, energy yield, thin film, dye sensitize solar cells, heat storage.

f) Give an overview (half a page) on the background and the development of the research

group/network from the start of the ISP collaboration until present time. Please, include

improvements/challenges in capacity building of higher education and research, and the

needs to further develop (Please note that this is a summary of Enclosure 1, Section k)

The project started in year 1996. The project is still ongoing. The project has trained two (2)

MSc and one (1) PhD to completion. Currently there is two (2) PhD and one (1) MSc. on the

directly on the project. Three (3) PhD and five (5) MSc are indirect student that use the ISP

sponsored equipment and consumables for their research.


6 (23)

This project builds on the existing Materials Science and Solar Energy network which is a

regional entity with international partnerships. The idea of MSSEESA was conceived in

November 2002 when Research Group Leaders were attending a meeting of the Reference

Group at International Science Programs (ISP), Uppsala, Sweden. Following the Uppsala

meeting, a two-day workshop (March 31 – April 2003) was organized in Dar es Salaam. The

purpose of the workshop was to bring together key scientists working in the field of

materials science and solar energy and brainstorm on a proposal on establishment of

materials science and solar energy for eastern and southern Africa network. In attendance

were delegates from University of Nairobi, Kenya; University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania;

University of Zambia, Zambia; Moi University, now University of Eldoret, Kenya and

Makerere University, Uganda. These Universities became the founding members of the

MSSEESA Network. In this proposed project, students will be co-supervised by members

from the network.

Other equipment in Laboratory will also require repairs and servicing from time to time.

LabVIEW 2017 National Instruments Interfacing Software for the following reasons

This soaftware is useful for doing interfacing of computers and equipment for easy to use automation and control. Pvsyst. Simulation software

This software is required in the simulation of the performance of installed PV plants and can be use in estimating environmental factors that affect PV systems operations.

Construction and testing of a thermal heat storage systems. The Group has been doing research on local materials that can be used for high temperature heat stoarge for cooking applications. Different storage materials have been evaluated. In this case, we would like to investigate the performance of oil mixed with nanoparticles for high temperature heat storage. A good thermal energy storage systems suitable for high temperature solar cooking applications would promote solar cooking and solve a number of issues ranging from environmental to social problems in developing countries.

250Wp Solar Panel There has been growing need for training of PV systems design, installation and maintenance at advanced level in the country owing to the emergency of new PV systems developments at minigrid level, rooftop commercials as well as PV plants of MW scale in the country. We need the infrastructure and hardware for practical training. The group would like to install this system at the rooftop Physics Department use it as reference during Solar training on PV systems. In addition students with analyse the data of Energy yield and compare it with other install systems eleswhere. In otherwords the system will act as reference for future large scale solar systems installation in Uganda.

Summary of Education:

2008-2012: PhD, Makerere University. Registered at Makerere University but main

research was carried out at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering,

Norwegian University of Science & Technology (NTNU). PhD Thesis topic:

Dynamic model for small scale concentrating solar energy system with heat storage.

Supervisors: Professor Ole Jorgen Nydal, NTNU, Trondheim-Norway and Professor

Eldad Banda, Makerere University-Uganda.

The research focused on developing a dynamic model for a concentrating solar

energy collector with rock bed heat storage for cooking. The model is based on

numerical integration of a set of conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy

of the heat carrier, the rock pebbles and the walls. The model predicts pressure, air

velocity, air density and temperatures of the air, rock bed and wall in time and along the

container. A ray tracer for analysis of solar concentrating systems was also developed;

the algorithm for a parabolic reflector with a continuous surface was developed in 3D

and implemented in Matlab.

2003-2005: MSc. degree (Physics), Norwegian University of Science & Technology

(NTNU). Thesis title: A new parameter suitable for modelling of solar beam

radiation. Supervisor: Professor Jorgen Lovseth. The MSc. thesis analyzed the

temporal structure of direct solar radiation based on measurements for one minute

time series over 12 years done in Trondheim, Norway. The beam intensity is

described by a one dimensional probability distribution, independent of solar height.

This served as a basis for a generator of synthetic beam intensities for use in model

testing.

1996-1999: BSc. degree, Makerere University.
