Philip Mayanja Nyenje (1977, Kampala, Uganda) obtained his Bachelor of Science (first class) in Civil Engineering from Makerere University, Uganda in 2003 and a Master of Science (greatest distinction) in Water Resources Engineering from Katholieke Universiteit of Leuven and the Vrije Universiteit of Brussels in Belgium in 2007. For this PhD research he carried out research at UNESCO-IHE and Delft University of Technology, on the processes governing the fate and transport of sanitation-related nutrients in groundwater and surface water in an urban informal settlement (or slum) in Kampala, Uganda. He has presented his work at several international conferences and has published several papers in highly-ranked international peer-reviewed journals. His research interests include contaminant transport in groundwater and surface water, hydrological processes, tracer hydrology and hydrochemistry, water quality modelling and water resources engineering and management.
