Associate ProfessorBiology and Chemistry, Environmental ScienceExtension4430EmailWebsiteResearchResearch Interests:
Dr. Kariuki's current interests include hydrometallurgy as well as a study of the effects of reduced sulphur species on water quality. The main goal of the hydrometallurgical research that we are performing is to develop more environmentally friendly and economical ways of mining minerals compared to the smelting processes that have traditionally been used.
An important part of the sulphur project is an investigation of the speciation of the reduced sulphur species in drinking water sources.
The above research is being…

Associate ProfessorPsychologyExtension4472EmailWebsiteResearchCurrent & Future Research
We currently have a few projects underway. One is based on an experiment by one of our previous thesis students. The experiment is called "The influence of emotionality on change detection in younger and older adults: A replication and extension". This experiment involves pictures that have been changed either centrally or peripherally. The original picture, a blank screen, followed by the altered picture are flashed continuously until the participant locates the change between the pictures. Each of the pictures used have been…
