Bio
Prof Majozi started his professional career as a junior process engineer at Unilever in 1994. In 1996 he was appointed as a senior process engineer: competency improvement specialist at Dow AgroSciences and in 2002 he joined Sasol Technology as a technology leader for optimization and integration. He was appointed as an associate professor at University of Pretoria in 2004 and promoted to a full professor at the end of 2008. He was also an associate professor in computer science at the University of Pannonia in Hungary from 2005 to 2009. The results of this work were implemented by African Explosives Limited (AEL) in Modderfontein wherein savings of more than 49% in effluent generation and almost R1 million per annum were realised. This work was the subject of the publication in South African Journal of Science. Currently, Prof Majozi and his students are collaborating with Sasol Technology on an Optimal Steam System Design Project aimed at debottlenecking the steam boilers at Sasol facilities. His work has earned him local and international recognition in the field of chemical engineering as indicated by the awards that he has received in recent years. |
