Research & Focus

Human-Computer Interaction, Data Analytics, and Information Visualization

I specialize in Human-Computer Interaction, Data Analytics, and Information Visualization, with a deep commitment to research and innovation in these fields.

I am an Associate Professor in Computer Science at JKUAT and the Director of ICT at the university. Previously, I served as the Director/Dean of the School of Computing and Information Technology at JKUAT. My research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction, Information Visualization, Data Analytics, Online Social Networks, and User Modeling. Over the years, I have been involved in ICT projects across Europe, Australia, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, and Rwanda. I have contributed extensively to international journals, conferences, and program committees, shaping the global discourse on technology and innovation.

Technology should not only be functional but also intuitive, insightful, and transformative.
