Hydrochemist Research Officer

Research Interests

I am a catchment scientist/modeller currently working as Hydrochemist Research Officer in the Agricultural Catchments Programme.

My research interests lie primarily in investigating the influence of anthropogenic activities and agricultural measures on the losses of nutrients, and development of sustainable mitigation measures.

I am now focusing my research on investigating the impact of the changing weather patterns on the fate of nutrients and the processes involved in their transfer to waterbodies in river catchments. In view of having more frequent extreme hydrological events, efficient and resilient climate-smart mitigation measures are needed to meet national and international (UN SDGs) targets.

I have worked in different international multidisciplinary research teams, hence, I do appreciate multinational inclusive research projects that produce globally transferrable outputs
