On March 26th, 2023, Joseph presented his research at the ACS spring meeting conference that took place in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. The title of his talk was "Photochemical Reactivity of New York water: Probing the role of Cyanobacteria"

In Sept 2022, Joseph joined the MIT School of Engineering welcomed as a member of the inaugural cohort of the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Engineering Excellence. The program seeks to discover and develop the next generation of faculty leaders to help guide the school toward a more diverse and inclusive culture. 

On the 10th day of August, Joseph defended his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Syracuse University.  Wasswa’s advisor is Professor Teng Zeng. The dissertation examining committee will be composed of Professors Charles T Driscoll, Andria C Staniec, David Kieber, and Leanne C Powers. Professor Christopher K Junium will serve as chair of the defense. The title of the candidate’s dissertation is: “Exploring the Roles of Organic Matter Source and Transformation for Photochemical Characterization of New York Lake Waters.” 

On June 30th, 2022, Joseph presented his research at the Association of Environmental Scientists and Professors (AEESP) research and education conference that took place in St Louis, Missouri, USA. The title of his talk was "Evaluating the effect of Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal blooms (CyanoHABs) on the photochemical reactivity of inland lake water"

On August 25th, 2021, Joseph presented his research at the American Chemical Society conference that took place in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The title of his talk was "Comparison of Photochemical Reactivity of Intracellular Organic Matter (IOM) and Extracellular Organic Matter (EOM) from Microcystis aeruginosa "
