Research & Publications

Research in the School of Computing is organized around the following research clusters:

  • Namibianizing the Internet – a research group that aims at exposing the Namibian cultural practices on the Internet. It investigates how technology may be used to preserve and pass on the cultural practices of the indigenous Namibian groups for the benefit of current and future generations.
  • Connecting Namibia –an initiative that builds community-networks to enable people in local communities to share and access local information. The initiative is completely not-for profit and is empowering communities to build local Wi-Fi networks, and together create local content of local value and  access useful local information to improve local livelihoods and local futures.
  • NAMTOSS - A research group that aims at identifying best practices in providing secondary learners with computer programming and robotics skills. Many local secondary schools provide no computer programming instruction to learners due to non-functional local computing facilities and secondary school teachers that do not possess the required technical background for such instruction. As such, many student do not recognize the beauty and joy that derives from writing computer programs. Those students that do must travel to other schools that have adequate resources. We posit that by introducing computer programming, and robotics, computational thinking, to a broader constituency, interest in computing careers will grow and foster the notion of Namibia as not only technology users, but also technology creators.
  • High Performance Computing – a cluster that investigates the use of high performing machines in the Namibian context.
