Graduate Research Assistant, Center for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure
I am a civil engineer pursuing a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Virginia Tech. Alongside my doctoral studies, I work as a research engineer at the Center for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure at Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI). My research at VTTI focuses on pavement performance and evaluation, accelerated pavement testing, and the environmental impacts of pavement construction and repair activities.
Before joining Virginia Tech, I spent 6 years as a Lecturer in Highways and Transportation Engineering at the International University of East Africa and Kabale University in Uganda, advising over 30 B.S. thesis projects. With a foundation in hands-on experience, I was previously a Civil Engineer at Uganda National Roads Authority, overseeing the successful completion of numerous projects involving the paving of 110 miles of national highways. Prior to doctoral pursuits, I also founded SAKM Engineering Limited, spearheading the company's growth and executing multiple infrastructure contracts in Uganda valued at US$ 3,000,000. As an active member of the Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers, I continue to contribute to the engineering community.
