About

I work with animal breeding and genetics, with some applications on breeding for improved productivity, fertility and health and on conservation of genetic resources. I have been working in projects in Kenya, Rwanda and Bolivia.

Professional experience

Lecturing
30 year(s) - Mainly in a MSc program in Rwanda
Main supervisor of PhD
25 year(s) - I have supervised 15 (11) PhD students as main supervisor (co-supervisor) and 2 (2) to licentiate degree. Currently I have 1 (5) PhD students.

Other experience

Statistical analysis
30 year(s) - We use quite a lot of statistics in animal breeding, e.g., mixed linear models etc.
