What I'm looking for

I’m seeking research and practical work applying renewable energy modeling, climate informatics, environmental machine learning, geospatial data analytics, satellite remote sensing, and applied physics to energy and environmental challenges.

At BIUST, I built and compared nine machine learning models to map and predict solar irradiance across Zambia and Southern Africa. My MSc thesis estimated global horizontal irradiance in Zambia using meteorological variables and solar geometry.

I handled, cleaned, transformed, and normalized environmental and satellite datasets for analysis, and used ArcGIS and QGIS to interpret spatial climate factors. I’m interested in applying renewable energy modeling, climate informatics, and geospatial data analytics to energy and environmental challenges.
