PhD Public Defense by Mr Ndikubwayo Innocent webadmin Tue, 05/04/2021 - 09:58

PhD Public Defense by Mr Ndikubwayo Innocent, a PhD Sida supported sandwich student at Makerere and Stockholm university in Sweden. Mr Ndikubwayo Innocent  will defend his PhD in Mathematics at Stockholm University today on the 14th  May 2021 at 15.00 CET i.e 16.00 EAT.

Zoom link: https://stockholmuniversity.zoom.us/j/64784353303 [1]
LOCATION: Online via Zoom, meeting ID 647 8435 3303


It is good to know that Innocent is one of the PhD Sida supported students on project 316 who have or are completing their PhDs.  Note that the said Sida Mathematics project has trained or is finalizing the training to PhD level of 21 students/staff i.e 4 staff from Makerere, 6 staff from Kyambogo, 4 staff from Gulu university, 2 staff from Mbarara university and 5 staff from Busitema. Innocent is a staff of Makerere  University. In 2020 alone, this project made a humble contribution of 29 impactful publications to Makerere's volume of publications in the pandemic year. I am hopeful that the main library has captured all of them. To date, the project has produced close to 60 publications. It is good to further note that out of the said 21 PhD students recruited in 2016/2017 with most of them in 2017, thirteen (13) PhD students have completed or will will complete by end of next month.
