Curious about Microbial Biochemistry & Biotechnology with a focus on the triad of microorganisms, environment and health. I am also passionate about R & D towards scalable and sustainable solutions & products. Towards shaping my career as a researcher, I have had an opportunity of engaging in some of the following activities;> Participated in the 25th Waternet Symposium hosted by Lesotho and presented findings from a study on exploring the potential of wastewater for a sustainable development.> Attended the 3rd International Summer School on Integrated Catchment and Water Resources Management at the National University of Lesotho.> Received an award for the best water catchment management plan during the 3rd International Summer School at the National University of Lesotho.> Attended the Water- Energy- Food (WEF) Nexus Advanced School at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.> Presented a paper on Synthesis of biodegradable plastic bags as a solution to the global plastics pollution during the 7th Uganda Water and Environment Week.> Co-PI on the Feasibility and Acceptability Study for Co-administration of Albendazole + Ivermectin in prevention of STH among school age children in Uganda. A study by the SWISS Tropical and Public Health Institute, Ministry of Health Uganda and Makerere University. > Participated at the Research Symposium during the Darwin-India 4th Edition Conference presenting a paper on Synthesis of biodegradable plastic bags as a solution to the global plastics pollution.> Selected among the top 30 youth innovators in East Africa during the East African Youth Innovation Forum 2022.> Presented a paper on Synthesis of biodegradable plastic bags as a solution to the global plastics pollution during the African Research Universities Alliance (ARUA) 3rd Urbanization and Habitable Cities Conference held at the University of Lagos, Nigeria> Shortlisted among the top 6 innovators under the Agro-security category by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2021 with GERIS Agro-processing> Presented a case study on Ensuring Quality Storage to Enhance Food Security and Safety, and a Keynote speech on the future of Biotechnology in Africa during the Inaugural International Synthetic Biology and Biosecurity Conference Africa in 2021> Attended the Canada-Africa Innovation Fellowship under the Engineers Without Borders program> Participated in the Climate Launchpad program 2021 edition and my project on developing biodegradable plastic bags was selected among the best three from Uganda.
