My name is Clement Nthambazale NYIRENDA. I am a Keio-MEBIOS Specially Appointed Assistant Professor in Ohtsuki Lab in the Department of Information and Computer Science at Keio University (Yagami Campus) . I am working on the development of Reservoir Computing based Event Detection and Localization algorithms in collaboration with Sumitomo Electric Company.
During my student days, my research efforts hinged on the development of Swarm Intelligence based Multiobjective Fuzzy Logic tools for communication networks and other dynamic environments. For more, please refer to the list of my publications.
I obtained a BSc in Electrical Engineering in 2000 and an MScEng in Computer Engineering in 2007 from the University of Malawi and the University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) respectively. In September 2011, I obtained a PhD in Computational Intelligence and Systems Science from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where I used to study in the Hirota/Sakurai Lab.
Because of my academic interests and my background among the poor masses in the rural areas of Malawi, I am very passionate about technology and its use in the fight against poverty. As a result, I discuss these issues on this blog. I long to connect with other people with similar interests.
I am also pleased to let you know that I am a family man. I got married to Felistas (nee Nyasulu) in December 2003. The Lord has blessed us with one girl, Uchindami (Glory) and one boy, Ungweru (Light). You can add me as a friend on the following networks:
