Prior to his political career, he began his academic career in 1999 at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa where he worked as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2000 he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tshwane University of Technology (previously known as Technikon Pretoria) in Pretoria, South Africa where he held various positions, including Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Under these capacities, he coordinated numerous research projects and built networks of cooperation with a number of universities, research centres and scientists worldwide.These projects were funded by the Government of the Republic of South Africa (National Research Foundation-NRF); Government of the Republic of South Africa (NRF)/Hungary Inter-government Joint Project; Government of the Republic of South Africa (NRF)/India Inter-government Joint Project; South Africa/Kenya Inter-government Joint Project, Government of the Republic ofSouth Africa (SADC Programme); South African Power Utility (ESKOM), The Technology and Human Resources for Industry Programme (THRIP)-Government of the Republic ofSouth Africa.
His research interests including: alternative fuels for diesel engines, gas fueling diesel engines, combustion of gaseous fuels, filtration combustion in porous media; flue gas desulphurization; soot formation in laminar diffusion flames, etc. He has extensive track record in human capacity development having supervised 12 Master’s and 6 Doctoral students to completion. He has published over 94 papers in journals, proceedings, and book chapters. He has been a visiting scholar at Szent Istvan University, Budapest, Hungary; Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea; Russian Academy of Science, Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion, Novosibirsk, Russia; and Belarus Academy of Science, A. V. Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute, Laboratory of Hydrodynamics, Minsk, Belarus.
Professor Mbarawa has an educational background in Marine Engineering and holds a Master’s Degree from the Astrakhan State Technical University (previously known as Astrkhan Institute of Fisheries) in Astrakhan, Russia and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
