About
A scholar in Mathematics , specifically in the area of Statistics and Actuarial. I am a student alumni and lecturer of the University of Nairobi, with further working experience in several other universities, locally and internationally. I have supervised several students in undergraduate and postgraduate levels , for their Bsc , Msc and PhD degrees . This has led to publishing many papers in peer-reviewed international journals . I am currently an Associate Professor at the esteemed Christian faith based Daystar University.

Research Interests
My research interest is mainly in Statistics , Actuarial Science and Mathematical Modeling. Statistics areas of interest include Stochastic Modeling of Disease epidemics ( eg HIV/AIDS), Sample Surveys and Estimation ( Derivation of new estimators ), Financial Time Series Modeling ( eg generalization of the GARCH model). Mathematical modeling includes research on the dynamical models for disease epidemics ( eg TB and Malaria ) and modeling Diabetes. Current research interest in Actuarial Science is on the determination ruin probabilities in the reformulated classical risk mode for solvency consideration of an insurance business. Both loss and Claims models are considered to be stochastic .
