I am an Aquatic Animal Health Veterinarian and researcher with expertise in fish and crocodilian health management across Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. I currently lecture in the Department of Paraclinical Studies at the University of Zambia and also serve as a specially appointed Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Hokkaido University, Japan. My work focuses on infectious diseases of aquatic animals, biosecurity, diagnostics, and antimicrobial resistance. I collaborate with farmers, government agencies, and international partners to design health management programs, develop biosecurity strategies, and strengthen capacity in aquatic animal disease diagnosis. My research also extends into molecular and metagenomic studies, particularly in the surveillance and characterization of emerging pathogens in fish farming systems. Beyond research and teaching, I am actively engaged in professional networks including World Aquatic Veterinary Medical Association and I am passionate about translating science into practical solutions for farmers. My broader vision is to contribute to sustainable aquaculture development in Africa through innovation, capacity building, and evidence-based disease management.
