Work
Mulaba-Bafubiandi is a professor at the University of Johannesburg, where he has been associated with the School of Mining, Metallurgy and Chemical Engineering and has headed a mineral processing and technology research centre. The bulk of his published output concerns hydrometallurgy, mineral beneficiation, metals recovery and related engineering topics.
He is listed in the dissident-scientist directory for a 2006 paper co-authored with G. Mthombeni, "A Changing Electric Field Generates a Changing Magnetic Field, Which in Turn Will Generate a Changing Electric Field: Are the Electric and Magnetic Field Components Time out of Phase?", published in Physics Essays (vol. 19, issue 1, p. 43). The paper questions the conventional description of the phase relationship between the electric and magnetic components of an electromagnetic wave, a position that lies outside the standard treatment of classical electromagnetism.
