Early life and education
Professor Mtingwa was born in 1949 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Career
Sekazi Mtingwa attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received his B.S. degrees in physics and pure mathematics. He later earned his M.A. and Ph.D at Princeton University in theoretical high energy physics in 1976. Mtingwa was a postdoctoral scholar at University of Maryland-College Park and later a Ford Foundation Fellow at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, where he and James Bjorken theoretically detailed and investigated the phenomenon of intrabeam scattering.

Professor Mtingwa co-founded the National Society of Black Physicists and served as its president from 1992 to 1994, and also helped to establish the African Physical Society, the African Laser Centre, the National Society of Hispanic Physicists, the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (Ghana), the African Light Source Steering Committee, and the The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics Medal for Outstanding Contributions to the Enhancement of Physics in Developing Countries.

Awards and honors
He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Society of Black Physicists, and received the Robert R. Wilson Prize for Achievement in the Physics of Particle Accelerators in 2017 for helping to theoretically describe the phenomenon of intrabeam scattering.

Personal life
Professor Mtingwa and his wife W. Estella Johnson have two daughters.
