Pro-Vice-Chancellor: Research and Academic Affairs

Prof Yogeshkumar (Yogi) Naik was born in Bulawayo and did his primary and secondary school education in Bulawayo He later obtained a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry and an MSc in Biochemistry 1976 and 1982 from the University of Bombay. Later, he obtained a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Zimbabwe in 1989 and held a position there as a lecturer until 1998. During this time, he pursued research and teaching in the area of biomedical toxicology investigating the effects of therapeutic agents on enzyme activity in liver and kidney. He later began to research on the effects of pesticides and other pollutants on aquatic organisms.

In 1998, he moved to NUST and obtained grants between 1999 and 2014 from the International Foundation for Science (Stockholm), International Science Programs of Uppsala University (Sweden) as well as from DfID (UK). As a result, a lab dedicated to 'ecotoxicology' was established in 1999 at NUST- the 'Ecotoxicology Laboratory'. The lab has focused on the effects of environmental pollutants such as pesticides, plastics and metals on aquatic organisms. One of his current key interests is the effects of heavy metals, such as mercury and lead on such organisms. The recent research interests have also focused on 'endocrine disrupters' and 'genotoxic agents' in aquatic reservoirs/waterways around Bulawayo. Over the years, 'The Ecotoxicology Group' has supported a number of MPhil and PhD graduates as well as numerous undergraduate students.

In 2008, Prof Naik took up a new position as the Director of the 'Research and Innovation Office' at NUST. The office has arranged workshops, seminars and training courses to support early career researchers. Since 2019, the office has taken on the function of 'internationalisation'. It has also developed policies for research and research ethics. Through acquiring grants, staff and students have been able to benefit from short term exchange visits as well as MSc and PhD training.

Over the years, Prof Naik has held positions on committees of professional, scholarly and research management societies. He has received awards for research, environmental education and research management for the contributions that he has made.

In January 2020, Prof Naik was appointed Pro Vice Chancellor for 'Research and Academic Affairs' at NUST. During his three-year term, he intends to enhance the collaborative research output with national and regional partners. In addition, his vision is to make education more accessible to potential university students through distance learning.
