Biography
Nolubabalo Matinise has completed her PhD in 2014 at the University of the Western Cape under electrochemistry in Sensorlab research group. Her PhD research involves sensors and applied electrodynamics of nanomaterials. She is a postdoctoral fellow for two years now at iThemba labs under material research department. Her research interests include morphologically, optical, surface modification and dimensionally controlled synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials, bimetallic, polymers, development of new high efficiency and low cost transitional metal nanoscale catalysts, as well as investigation of the relationships between their structures and properties, and exploring their applications in heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, energy conversion or nanoscale electronic devices.
