My area of focus is in marine environment and ecology where together with other scientists  conduct ; water quality assessment, analysis of saxitoxins i.e. PSP, ASP and CFP, sea grass monitoring and mangrove productivity assessment in the Kenyan coast and determining  sedimentation rates using radio nuclides i.e. 210Pb and 210Po.

The main activities am involved in include;

coordinating mangrove monitoring programs and water quality assessments, data collection and analysis, reporting, data base management, doing publications, mobilizing and supervising local
communities in participatory in both water quality and mangrove monitoring. Attending several capacity building trainings which includes; RAF 7009: Supporting an integrated approach for marine pollution monitoring using nuclear analytical techniques; Using nuclear
analytical technique to support harmful algal bloom at the context of climate and environmental change (phase 1); Applying nuclear analytical techniques to support harmful algal bloom at the context of climate and environmental change (phase 2); Strengthening regional capacities for marine risk assessment using nuclear and related techniques.
