Data Science And Big Data Analytics

Capitalizing on Rwanda’s efficient development of ICT to assemble world-class expertise in data analytics, the focus would be on improving the lives of urban and rural citizens through continuous “fitness-tracking” of their basic provisions and infrastructure.

The field of data analytics and big data is itself emerging as a critical discipline with important relevance to economic growth and development. QLA assembles world-class expertise in data science, engaging Africa’s brightest youth in R&D to implement advanced systems for data gathering, systems monitoring, and rapid analysis.

The main focus of QLA’s research in data science is foundational Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. However, the goal is to apply data science in improving the lives of citizens through water, energy, health, inform government, public agencies, and companies, as well as the population at large in order to support improved decision making.
