Dr. Eric Magero I am a distinguished academic and professional in the field of Actuarial Science, with a deep passion for statistics, food security, climate change, and mathematical applications in real-world challenges. From an early age, I developed a strong affinity for numbers, logic, and problem-solving, which naturally led me to pursue a career in actuarial science. Academic & Professional Journey Currently, I serve as a lecturer at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST), where I am dedicated to equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in actuarial science and related fields. My areas of expertise include risk analysis, financial mathematics, data analytics, and applied statistics, with a keen interest in how these fields intersect with food security and climate change. Beyond my role as an educator, I actively contribute to research and industry collaborations, ensuring that my students not only grasp theoretical concepts but also understand their practical implications. Passion for Mentorship & Motivation One of my greatest motivations is mentoring upcoming mathematicians and inspiring the young generation to embrace mathematics and its vast opportunities. I believe that with the right guidance and mindset, anyone can harness the power of numbers to drive innovation and create solutions for societal challenges. Through mentorship, I strive to bridge the gap between academia and industry, preparing students for impactful careers. Personal Philosophy My guiding principle in life is simple yet profound: “God always sees me through.” This philosophy has shaped my journey, giving me the strength to overcome challenges and remain steadfast in my mission to educate, inspire, and contribute to meaningful change. Looking Ahead As I continue on this path, my vision is to advance actuarial education, promote research in food security and climate resilience, and inspire the next generation of problem solvers. Through my work, I hope to leave a lasting impact, both in academia and in the broader community.
