Research Leadership
Appointed Chairperson of the multidisciplinary team tasked with preparing a Kibabii University proposal in response to the National Research Fund call NRF 001/2025 on Artificial Intelligence in Cultural Heritage.
Innovation Leadership
Appointed Chairperson of the committee that plans the University's Innovation Week, covering theme, programme, budget, participation, publicity and stakeholder engagement.
Digital Governance
Appointed Chairperson of the technical group developing two ODeL policies, in response to a Commission for University Education (CUE) technical inspection report that called for institutional policies on data management and information security.
International partnerships
I contribute to institutional internationalisation and strategic partnership development by chairing the Joint Implementation Committees for six Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs). Under the appointment letters, each committee coordinates and oversees implementation of one MoU: preparing implementation plans, promoting collaborative research, facilitating academic mobility, strengthening institutional capacity, monitoring agreed activities and supporting the long-term sustainability of the partnership.
These themes come from the terms of reference shared by all six letters. Each MoU has its own partner and work plan; the themes are not specific to any one partner.
