He is a Member of the Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at Karamoja Peace and Technology University (KAPATU) Project.

Ainebyona Paddy is an accomplished Agricultural Engineer, researcher, and university lecturer with expertise in agricultural production, water resources management, post-harvest technologies, food packaging engineering, and community development. He holds a Bachelor’s (2016) and Master’s (2021) degree in Agricultural Engineering from Makerere University.

He has served Lyantonde District Local Government for four years, managing agricultural water infrastructure, supporting the Micro Scale Irrigation Program, and promoting mechanisation and post-harvest technologies to thousands of farmers. His work includes monitoring 6 valley dams and 48 valley tanks, deploying irrigation systems, and guiding farmer enrolment and field assessments using digital tools such as Irritrack.

Paddy has also lectured at Makerere University and Mbarara University of Science and Technology and is currently pursuing a PhD in Agricultural Engineering at Makerere University. His research focuses on developing multilayer flexible packaging materials for shelf-life extension, applying Life Cycle Assessment, techno-economic analysis, Design Expert, and MATLAB.

He has contributed to several high-impact Mak-RIF projects in financial literacy, biofertilizers, nutrient-dense foods, the Parish Development Model (PDM), and engineering innovations, and has produced peer-reviewed publications and practical technologies, including fruit pulpers, irrigation systems, and biofertilizer products.
