About

Devotha Godfrey Nyambo is a researcher and lecturer at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, Tanzania. She has a PhD in Information and Communication Sciences and Engineering from the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (2020). Her research focus has been on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and modeling of agricultural systems, especially the livestock systems.

She leads the Artificial Intelligence and Complexity Sciences research group at the institution, and also leads the Agriculture and Environmental Conservation group at Africa's Anglophone Artificial Intelligence for Development (AI4D) Multidisciplinary Research Lab. Her current project is on Leveraging Multi-Agent Models for Learning Recommendations and Improvement of Farmer-to-Farmer Interactions in Small Scale Dairy. Her research interests extend to the application of AI in the health and education sectors.

Devotha is a member of the African Women in Agricultural Research and Development (AWARD) and also, the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD).
