Prof Godefroid Gahungu was born in Kayanza , Burundi, in 1973. He received the B.E. degree in Chemical Sciences from the University of Burundi (UB) in 1998, and both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Physical Chemistry from the Northeast Normal University(NENU), Changchun, China, in 2005 and 2008, respectively.In 2008, he joined the Department of Chemistry, University of Burundi, as a Lecturer. In December 2011 , he was elected head of department of Chemistry for two years , and became an Associate Professor in 2012, after a one year postdoctoral research at Changchun Institute of applied Chemistry (CHINA). Given his record in publishing research,Dr. Gahungu was elected TWAS young affiliate for the 2012 – 2017 period . His current research interests include the use of quantum chemical methods and programs (e.g. GAUSSIAN, ORCA, MATERIALS STUDIO, etc...) in the understanding, characterization and prediction of the structures and properties of molecules and materials. Especially, his interests include the optical and semi-conducting properties of molecules, adsorptive properties of organic zeolite, and the study of conducting donor - acceptor materials (both organic and organo-metallic). From recently, he is also interested in the simulation of solid states, biomolecules and biochemical process
