Habumugisha Isaac (HI) received a Bsc. Ed. degree in Physics and Mathematics from Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST), Mbarara, Uganda, in 2006. Later he obtained a PGD(PPM) and Msc in Physics in 2012 and 2013 respectively from the same University. HI finalized his Ph.D degree in Astrophysics from MUST in 2021 and was a pioneer graduate of Astrophysics in Uganda under EAARN / ISP.
In 2017, he joined the Department of Physics, Kabale University, as a Lecturer where he has established a group on astrophysics and space science. His current research interests include Theoretical plasma physics, Nonlinear phenomena in high energy astrophysical systems, Cultural Astronomy and Astronomy Education. He is a Member of the African astronomical society and Arab Astronomical Society.
