Message

At Kibabii University, I teach Applied Mathematics and research climate, water, and environmental systems. My PhD research developed an integrated SWAT-SEIR framework to model climate change impacts on water security in the Lake Victoria Basin.

I applied ODE/PDE systems, numerical methods, and CMIP6 climate scenario analysis in this work. I’ve published peer-reviewed research on the framework and related climate and water questions.

As a Part-time Lecturer, I supervise undergraduate and postgraduate research and contribute to curriculum development. I’ve also mentored three early-career researchers to peer-reviewed publication.

I co-authored six mathematics textbooks for Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum and published five academic books through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. I also serve as a Technical Examiner for the Kenya National Examinations Council.
