LATEST FROM KENET
This call seeks to fund engineering research in Kenyan universities or research institutions that leverage advances in AI and exploit both the computational and LoRaWAN infrastructure installed by KENET. In addition, this call seeks to support early-career PhD faculty and/or researchers in advancing emerging areas of Artificial Intelligence through work that combines technical depth with demonstrable, real-world implementation. The grant is designed to catalyze the development of innovative ideas into functional pilots or prototypes that can be tested, refined, and shared as practical reference models.
...The Computational Modeling and Materials Science is a Special Interest Group supported by KENET to enhance research capacity development in the use of computational modeling in science and technology. Research work is expected to involve university faculty and graduate students in Chemistry, Physics and Environmental Sciences but strongly welcomes those from other basic and applied sciences. To increase research output directly or by complementing the existing limited work from groups with standard experimental infrastructure, CMMS has embraced computational modeling, which is now considered as an important...
