Faculty

Carine Pierrette Mukamakuza holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in computer science from Central South University, China. She completed her Ph.D. studies at Vienna Technical University in the Vienna Ph.D. School of Informatics.

Mukamakuza is a lecturer, researcher, and entrepreneur. Her research focuses on digital healthcare solutions, business intelligence, data science (specifically machine learning, where she has centered her attention on recommender systems), online social network behavior, and personalization. Using publicly available datasets, she has investigated the extent to which social connections influence user rating behavior over time. Driven by her interest in digital healthcare solutions, Mukamakuza is creating a digital detection project. She is currently focused on Rwanda as a case study, and her long-term goals for the interface are much broader where she envisions creating a system that could be utilized across countries in Africa, and across diseases. Overall, her goal is to construct an effective data management system that has wide usability and high reliability.
