Mr. Peter Musyimi is a Tutorial Fellow of Geography at Karatina  University, School of Education and Social Sciences, Department of Humanities and Languages. Prior to this appointment , He was a Graduate Assistance at the same school and Department. He completed his Master of Arts in Geography and Bachelor of Education(Arts )  Geography/Kiswahili from Karatina University. Currently,  he is a  PhD Candidate under Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship to pursuing PhD studies in Earth sciences at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest Pázmány Péter, Hungary on full scholarship. He worked as a volunteer teacher with UN-Windle Trust Kenya in Dadaab Refugee camp, the largest in the world

His research interests are in the area of  Geography and Earth Sciences with bias in climatology and meteorology, remote sensing and GIS and agrometeorology. He is a skilled researcher focused on climate change and variability; drought and water scarcity. He is also currently carrying out meteorological measurement using data loggers and Temperature-Moisture-Sensor (TMS). The parameters measured include  soil moisture, soil temperature,  air temperature  and humidity at 2m  above the surface at Mount Kenya rainforest biome at 3050 m above sea level at Karatina University at 1998 m above sea level. He has published in highly ranked journals and collaboratively carried out research in fields and discipline of remote sensing and its applications in climate studies, renewable energy in Wind and Solar energy. He has participated in international conferences with contributions from his research. He is a member Geography Association Club, Karatina university , European Meteorological Society (EMS), European Geosciences Union (EGU).  He served as a workload allocation coordinator at the Department of Humanities and Languages, School of Education and Social Sciences in 2020. He also served as a member in the Sustainable Developmental Goals Committee on Climate Action, School of Education and Social Sciences and an Assistant Examination Coordinator at the Department of Humanities and Languages, School of Education and Social Sciences, Karatina University in 2019. He teaches undergraduate courses in both physical and human geography.
