Dr Owaga's research interests are in the synthesis and structural elucidation of organic, inorganic and metal organic compounds with interesting physical properties. His focus is in Polymorphism, Isomorphism and Co-crystallization studies of these compounds. He investigates properties like magnetic susceptibility, luminescence, fluorescence in addition to studies of the compounds biological and catalytic activities. Some of the characterization techniques he employs are: Single crystal XRD, PXRD, DSC, Electron microscopy and solid and solution NMR.
