Patrick is a Principal Investigator of the on-going research activity funded by the world academy of sciences on the “Quantification of Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) and characterization of ionospheric total electron content (TEC) over Uganda”. The first expected outcome of this research work is realization of an improved TEC model over Uganda through data assimilation and the second one is prediction of the deterioration of oil pipe-line based on GIC measurements over Uganda. Patrick has published several articles in peer reviewed international journals: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Patrick-Mungufeni/publications
Alongside writing research articles, Dr. Patrick is also a reviewer for acclaimed international journals including, Advances in Space Research, Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Weather, Acta Geophysicae, among others.
