Erasto B. Mpemba
Tanzanian game warden and scientist (1950–2023)
Erasto Bartholomeo Mpemba[1] (1950–2023)[note 1] was a Tanzanian game warden who, as a schoolboy, discovered the eponymously named Mpemba effect, a paradoxical phenomenon in which hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions; this effect had been observed previously by Aristotle, Francis Bacon, and René Descartes.
Life
Mpemba was born in 1950.[4] He visited the Magamba Secondary School in Tanzania, where he rediscovered the Mpemba effect when he was 13 years old.[5]
Mpemba aspired to become a doctor, but financial constraints hindered his ambitions.
Recognizing that working with wildlife presented an opportunity for an overseas scholarship, he enrolled in Mweka Wildlife College in Moshi.[6][7][8] Upon earning his diploma, Mpemba rose to the position of Regional Natural Resources Officer in Mara Region in 1967.
