Dr. Ann Wahu Kamamia

Researcher

Dr. rer. nat. Ann Wahu Kamamia studied Soil Water and Environmental Engineering at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in Kenya. She then pursued HydroScience Engineering at Technische Universität Dresden, completing her doctorate in Environmental Science in 2023. Her thesis was titled "Using Hydrological Models and Digital Soil Mapping for the Assessment and Management of Catchments: A Case Study of the Nyangores and Ruiru Catchments in Kenya (East Africa)." Since July 2024, she has been working in the "Sustainability, Innovation, and Politics" department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research in Karlsruhe.
