Rate My Professor Dyson Moses

Dr. Dyson Nelson Macroon Moses is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography, Earth Sciences and Environment, School of Natural and Applied Sciences, at the University of Malawi's Chancellor College in Zomba, Malawi. He previously served as Head of the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences. Moses obtained his PhD from Kyushu University in Japan in 2022, with a doctoral thesis titled 'Mine Design and Slope Stability Analysis for...' supervised by Prof. Dr. Hideki Shimada in the Department of Earth Resources Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering. In 2018, he participated in Japan's Knowledge Co-creation Programme from 29 January to 23 February, enhancing his expertise in geosciences.

Moses's research specializations in geoscience include rock mechanics, slope stability analysis, mining methods, numerical modelling, karst geohazards, pipe-jacking friction resistance, stope stability, and geotechnical properties of coral limestone and schist. He has authored or co-authored 84 publications, accumulating 1,649 citations on ResearchGate. Key publications comprise 'Stability Design of Slopes in Carbonatite Complexes Characterised by Brecciation' (Journal of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2025), 'Rock Slope Stability Analysis by Using Integrated Approach' (World Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2020), 'Numerical Simulation of Crown Pillar Behaviour in Transition from Open Pit to Underground Mining' (Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2021), 'A new method for predicting the friction resistance in rectangular pipe-jacking' (Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, 2022), 'Karst-Induced Geohazards in Kenya’s Coastal Region: A Case Study of Vipingo Coral Limestone Quarry' (European Journal of Environment and Earth Sciences, 2021), 'Evaluation of Stope Stability in Underground Mine; Hermyingyi (Sn-W Deposit) Mine in Myanmar' (Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection, 2021), and 'Laboratory Investigation of the Physico-Mechanical Properties of Coral Limestone of Vipingo Area in Kenya’s Coastal Region' (International Research Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology, 2022). He currently serves as President of the University of Malawi Staff Sports Association (UMSSA).
