I am a geophysicist with expertise in both geodynamics and geodesy.​

 

My PhD research at Virginia Tech, working with Dr. D. Sarah Stamps, focused on using geodynamic modeling and geodetic (GNSS) data to study the physics of strain localization and kinematics of the northern Western Branch, an active continental rift in eastern Africa that forms part of the divergent plate boundary between the Nubian plate and Victoria microplate.

 

​I have interned with a geothermal company (Minaean SP Construction Company) in Vancouver, Canada, in the summer of 2023, where I conducted extensive research on geothermal resources in the Katwe-Kikorongo Volcanic Field in southwestern Uganda, using geophysical methods and developing a pre-feasibility study report that the Ugandan government can use to develop the region's geothermal resources. I have served as an adjunct lecturer at Makerere University between 2019 and 2020 and a graduate teaching assistant at Virginia Tech. I also worked as a hydrogeologist with the Government of Uganda from 2015 to 2020.

 

​I have served on several leadership committees, including currently as the early career representative for the AGU Geodesy Division. Previously, as the student representative for the AGU Geodesy Division, treasurer for the African Graduate Student Organization at Virginia Tech, and treasurer for the Geosciences Graduate Student Organization at Virginia Tech, among others. I also engage in educational outreach and service to the community.
