He has a Master of Science degree in geography from Pwani University and is currently a PhD candidate. He also has a Post Graduate Certificate in Representing the Real World in Geographic Information System and Diploma in Advanced Diploma in Geographic Information Systems from Alison in Galway, Ireland.
He researches earth sciences, slope stability, mining, sustainability transformations in post-mining regions, geotechnical solutions, climate change, GIS & GPS services, and sediment dynamics in Kenya's hydrological systems, trying to understand their sources, fate and the biophysical conditions that control sediment deposition and accretion and their possible effects on critical habitats. He is also interested in mainstreaming geoscience as key contributor to ecosystem assessment, management, and the blue economy. He has also been involved in slope stability mapping, specifically generating slope stability maps and satellite imagery (remote sensing).
