Climate–ML researcher & earth systems modeller with 7+ years developing open-source platforms that couple machine learning with land, energy, water, and agricultural systems across Eastern Africa.
I am a climate–ML researcher and environmental engineer based in Kenya, specialising in the intersection of machine learning and earth system science. My work centres on developing ML-integrated modelling platforms that support climate-resilient policymaking across Eastern Africa.
I created GeoCLEWs-Agro during a 6-month visiting research fellowship at Simon Fraser University (SFU), Canada (Dec 2023 – Jun 2024), working within the DeltaE+ Research Group and funded by Global Affairs Canada. The platform integrates ML-augmented CLEWs (Climate, Land, Energy, and Water Systems) modelling — directly addressing parameterization emulation, climate projection, bias correction, and climate impact modelling challenges.
My research spans earth system model outputs, observational records, and applied ML for scenario analysis and resource planning. I hold an MSc in Environmental Engineering from Taita Taveta University and have co-authored peer-reviewed research published in Springer Nature journals.
Beyond research, I have delivered capacity-building training to 140+ students, professionals, and policymakers and represented my institutions at 6+ regional and international scientific forums.
Developed during a 6-month Global Affairs Canada–funded visiting research fellowship at Simon Fraser University (SFU), DeltaE+ Research Group (Dec 2023 – Jun 2024). GeoCLEWs-Agro is an open-source ML-integrated earth systems platform coupling agriculture, land use, energy, and water systems — enabling parameterization emulation, scenario analysis, bias correction, and climate impact assessment across the food–energy–water nexus.
Led 3+ interdisciplinary research projects on climate resilience and sustainable mining at CESMECC, producing peer-reviewed and policy-relevant outputs. Applied CLEWs-based ML modelling frameworks for stakeholder-facing policymaking support.
Investigated water quality and modelled contaminant transport from an abandoned mine to surrounding aquifers using MODFLOW and MT3DMS. Predicted spatial distribution and migration of contaminants over time, informing groundwater protection strategy.
As EIA Officer at Kenya's National Environment Management Authority, reviewed 15+ EIA reports, facilitated 10+ public consultations, and conducted 15+ field inspections — building a rigorous foundation in quantitative environmental assessment.
Available for remote, project-based work in climate modelling, ML applied to earth system science, parameterization emulation, bias correction, and climate impact assessment. Let's connect.
