Meet Marilyn Ronoh, Mathematician and Mawazo Scholar
I was initially exposed to the use of mathematical methods to study infectious diseases while pursuing my masters in Applied Mathematics at the University of Nairobi. My research focused on mathematical modelling of Rift Valley Fever in Kenya, a viral disease that affects livestock and wild animals but can be transmitted to human beings via […]
Reducing HIV/AIDS Risks in Young Kenyans: An Awareness Mathematical Model
