Bridging Intelligence & Biology

I am Josue Uwimana, a researcher, engineer, and educator based in Kigali, Rwanda. My work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, and embedded systems — with a singular focus: making intelligent healthcare accessible.

Currently pursuing an MSc in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rwanda, I hold certifications from Johns Hopkins (Neuroscience & Genomic Data Science), Stanford (Machine Learning), and the University of Michigan. My research has been presented at international conferences in China, Rwanda, and beyond.

Beyond research, I teach the next generation of engineers at Collège de Bethel, author books on AI policy and preparedness, and actively contribute to the IEEE community as a member of five specialized councils.

My interests span autonomous intelligent systems and tissue engineering — two fields I believe will define the future of medicine in Africa.
