Principal Research Scientist specializing in ecosystem modeling, hydrographic analysis, climate modeling, and spatial suitability analysis for aquatic and terrestrial systems across East Africa
As Principal Research Scientist and Assistant Director of Limnology Research at the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), I lead cutting-edge research integrating ecosystem modeling, hydrographic analysis, and climate science across East Africa's aquatic and terrestrial systems.
My work spans oceanographic modeling (ROMS), ecosystem simulation (Atlantis, Ecopath with Ecosim), climate impact modeling using ERA5 data, and comprehensive spatial suitability analysis for aquaculture, agriculture, and conservation planning. I specialize in translating complex environmental data into actionable insights for sustainable resource management.
As Chairman of the Lake Victoria Regional Hydroacoustics Working Group and coordinator of the upcoming "Graham Survey of Lake Victoria 100 Years On" centenary project, I bridge advanced computational methods with practical applications in fisheries management, aquaculture development, and environmental assessment across both aquatic and terrestrial landscapes.
