​
Prior to the start of the masters, Peter worked as a lecturer at Northern Technical college (Nortec) where he taught Physics and Engineering Science.
​
Upon completing his masters, Peter would like to do a PhD in radio astronomy so that he can be well equipped to participate in the AVN and SKA projects as a researcher and also be able to give back to the community through teaching and outreach programs.
