Dr. Otieno Fredrick Onyango holds a B.Sc degree in Physics and Mathematics from Kenyatta University and a Masters degree in Physics from University of Nairobi. He obtained his PhD from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in 2006 focusing on determination of thermophysical properties of electrical conductors during sub-second heating.

In January 2007, he joined the Physics department of Kigali Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), becoming its Head in January 2008. While at KIST he has taught electrodynamics, Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism and Mathematical Physics to undergraduate students, but he is also keen on electronics & instrumentation subjects from where he has graduated M.Sc. theses researches.

His research interests encompass Thermophysical properties determination, modeling and simulation of physical phenomena and electronics instrumentation.
