My main area of research is on flood prediction using Machine Learning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Interests and societal interests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Machine Learning and how it can be use to bring cutting edge solution to the problem of floods. With my current research I am expecting to come up with a machine learning prediction model that will be able to be implemented as an early warning system for flash floods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expectations as a QES Scholar during the Mobility Period<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The global challenge posed by climate change can only be met by cross-border international collaborations. By enabling current researchers, future decision-makers, and multipliers to share knowledge, methods and techniques with specialists and colleagues from different parts of the world. With QES I am expecting to realize some of this by having a chance to meet, discuss and share some of the intriguing challenges connected with floods. With possible future collaboration I am expecting to widen my knowledge and adapt more of that passion from others who are enthusiastic about the issues surrounding climate change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The QES Project and Advancement of your Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, I expect the QES project will assist with growth in terms of collaborative capabilities in research and development activities; the second is improved leadership skills which will help in many areas primarily establishing and leading some sustainable research groups at my home institution.\u00a0 Furthermore, the potential connections will be a great opportunity to share more of the future research and development projects between Tanzania and Canada in general.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[35],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
