Dr. Jean Marie Vianney Ngororabanga is currently a lecturer of chemistry at the University of Rwanda College of Education. He completed his Bachelor’s degree with honors, Master’s, and PhD in Chemistry (Organic and polymer Chemistry) at Nelson Mandela University in 2012, 2013, and 2017 respectively.

In 2017, he was offered a postdoctoral and part-time lecturing position at Nelson Mandela University Chemistry Department where he remained until 2020. His postdoctoral research focused on the development of macromolecular scaffolds for the recognition of thiosulfate complexes of gold (III) and their real-life application in the extraction of gold metal.

In 2022, he was offered a part-time lecturing position at Kibogora Polytechnic Science Department and University of Rwanda College of Education until 2023 when he was appointed full-time lecturer at the University of Rwanda.
He has experience in organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, chemical sensing, and chemical analysis.

He is currently a research associate at Nelson Mandela University and his current research involves :
1. Design of organic extractants for the separation/recovery of precious metals.
2. Design of colorimetric/fluorometric small molecules or polymers for detecting and quantify ionic pollutant in the environment.
He participated in many national and international workshops and conferences and his research output has been published in national and reputable international journals (https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57194602609).
