My name is Clement Nthambazale NYIRENDA.  I am a second year PhD student in the Hirota/Sakurai Lab in the Department of Computational Intelligence and Systems Science at Tokyo Institute of Technology. I am sponsored by the Japanese government under a three year doctoral Monbukagakusho scholarship program.

My research efforts hinge on the development of Swarm Intelligence based Multiobjective Fuzzy Logic tools for communication networks and other dynamic environments. For more, please refer to the list of my publications. If you have similar research interests, please give me a shout. We might do some great work together!

I obtained a BSc in Electrical Engineering in 2000 and an MScEng in Computer Engineering in 2007 from the University of Malawi and the University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) respectively. I am also a lecturer, researcher and consultant in Electronics and Computer Engineering at the Malawi Polytechnic, a constituent college of the University of Malawi.

Because of my academic interests and my background among the poor masses in the rural areas of Malawi,  I am very passionate about technology and its use in the fight against poverty.  As a result, I discuss these  issues on this blog. I long to connect with other people with similar interests.

I am also pleased to let you know that I am a family man. I got married to Felistas (nee Nyasulu) in December 2003. The Lord has blessed us with one girl, Uchindami (Glory) and one boy, Ungweru (Light).  You can add me as a friend on the following networks:
