In the ever-evolving landscape of engineering and research, there are those whose contributions stand out, leaving a lasting impact on their respective fields. Eng. Prof Duncan Onyango Mbuge is one such luminary in the world of Environmental and Biosystems Engineering, specializing in food and processing. His dedication to research and innovation recently earned him the prestigious title of "Best Researcher in Engineering" for the year 2022 during the University of Nairobi Research Week in 2023.

In a promising development for the fields of biodiversity, biofuel, biomass technologies, and environmental and water sanitation projects, the EBE Department had the honor of hosting Marco and Sebastian a delegation from the AQUA NIRVANA Foundation. The purpose of this visit was to explore avenues for meaningful collaboration and to discuss the potential of a postgraduate scholarship program.

In times of adversity, true camaraderie and solidarity shine brightly. This was evident when the EBE technical staff rallied together to visit their  colleague Muliro, who had recently been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home.
