Important Contribution:

  1. I supported fees of more than twenty postgraduate students at the department through the Eastern African Universities programme – EAUMP.
  2. I supervised the good number researches of MSc. students.
  3. As coordinator of EAUMP, I am working hard to increase the number of female students in Mathematics at the department for postgraduate level.
