Towards Sustainable Ecosystems

Rose Ramkat has PhD in Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences from BOKU University, Austria; MSc and BSc degrees from Egerton University, Kenya. She worked previously for the Ministry of Agriculture, Kenya in many projects including: National Agriculture and Livestock Extension Project, Njaa Marufuku Kenya, International Fund for Agricultural Development, and Kenya Agricultural Productivity Project. She is currently involved in collaborative projects on biotechnology, food systems, and bio-circularity. She is Deputy Center leader and Principal Investigator for Africa Center of Excellence in Phytochemicals, Textile and Renewable Energy (ACE II – PTRE, Kenya) and Dean School of Science and Aerospace, Moi University. She is representative of the International Association of Universities Cluster for UN SDG 12 and serves in several boards including Scientific Sub-Committee of DSTI - NRF Center of Excellence in Food security. Silas Kering Leting is a nuclear scientist, energy expert, and policy strategist. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Physics (Neutronics) from Moi University. He serves as the Director of Energy for the County Government of Uasin Gishu, Kenya. His leadership spans investor coordination, regulatory structuring, financial engineering, and implementation oversight, establishing the project as a benchmark for PPP-driven sustainable infrastructure. His influence extends regionally through the North Rift Economic Bloc, where he contributes to harmonized energy planning and regional investment frameworks. Charles Rono is a researcher and a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry, Kisii University. He is actively involved in collaborative interdisciplinary research focused on sustainable science solutions to climate change and ecosystem health. Some of his contributions include harnessing data chemistry and artificial intelligence for sustainability in product and process development, and phytochemicals in the development of materials for renewable energy applications.  Nixon Ronoh is a faculty member, School of Science and Aerospace studies of Moi University, Kenya.  Nixon obtained his Doctor of Sciences degree from Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), and has published research papers cutting across the fields of  Computer Science and Applied Mathematics.  Nixon currently works with a research team studying the applications of Artificial Intelligence technologies in innovative  and sustainable strategies towards renewable energy solutions, and the adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
