Erasto B. Mpemba
Erasto Bartholomeo Mpemba (1950) is a Tanzanian scientist who rediscovered the eponymous Mpemba effect during his school days, a paradoxical phenomenon in which hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions. In 1963, he discovered the phenomenon in the preparation of ice cream. The correctness of his observations was proven experimentally.[1]
During his studies at the College of African Wildlife Management nearMoshi, he published in 1969, together with Dr. Denis G. Osborne, a treatise on the phenomenon.[2] Later he worked in the Department of Natural Resources and Tourism in the Wildlife Division. He has since retired.[3]
