Biography

Education:
Post-Doctoral Associate, Pennsylvania State University
Ph.D., Analytical/Electrochemistry, University of Connecticut
M.S., Analytical Chemistry, University of Nairobi
B.S., Chemistry, Kenyatta University

Research Expertise:
Analytical Chemistry | Electrochemistry | Chromatography

My research interest is in two major areas: Fabrication, modification and characterization of electrode with nanoscale materials for use in electrochemical sensors/biosensors and biomedical sensing. Also, in chromatographic characterization of drugs and their metabolites.

I am also interested in synthesis, electrochemical characterization of new materials for clean energy and for carbon dioxide reduction.
