Research Groups
E-systems development, Management and Interoperability
This research group is concerned with developing electronic systems for improving access to governmental and social services and improving livelihoods. The e-systems in focus such as government, e-health and e-agriculture systems.
Wireless and Communication Systems
Wireless communication systems have accelerated the pace of development across Africa, primarily through the adoption of mobile communications, and they remain the cornerstone for the rapid and widespread deployment of various ICTs in the continent. This has facilitated access to essential services.
Mathematical Modelling and Computational Sciences
In today's world of virtual research, "mathematical modelling" is the key word. The mathematical modelling group is interested in applying modelling techniques to a range of topics including biomathematics, financial mathematics and epidemiology
Artificial Intelligence and Complexity Systems
This research group focuses on applying and optimising data mining and machine learning techniques in addressing challenges faced by local society. Researchers have applied machine learning to determine livestock farmer groups and their characteristics, identify plant diseases from images and predict disease outbreaks.
Cyber Security and Privacy
The globally exponential growth in networked devices such as smartphones, and internet-connected smart devices, has made the privacy and security of personal user data a major concern. In the past, security was mainly a software issue, but IoT devices, have increased the scope of privacy and security to include hardware as well
