 Biography:

Purity Mimi Shandu is a lecturer in the College of Science Engineering and Technology (School of Engineering) at the University of South Africa (Unisa), and a PhD candidate at the University of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. She got her BTech and MTech in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Johannesburg and a National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Mangosuthu University of Technology in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. She holds a higher certificate in Production, Operations and Proactivity Management from the University of South Africa. An article of hers was published in the conference proceedings of the 11th South African Conference of Computational and Applied Mechanics. Her research interests include power generation, simulation, optimisation, reliability, scheduling, manufacturing, and energy management systems. She is registered as a candidate with the South African Department of Labour to obtain her Government Certificate of Competency (GCC) ticket and has a candidacy membership with the Engineering Council of South Africa. She was nominated for the International Executive Development Programme (IEDP) 2020/2021, an initiative of the South African Transport Education Training Authority (TETA), in partnership with the Gordon Institute of Business Science, to train highly skilled, competitive and competent people in the various facets of the transport sector (rail, aerospace, maritime, road freight, road passenger, taxi, freight handling and forwarding and clearing).
