\"SavannahSavannah Nuwagaba has been awarded one of the prestigious\u00a0Faculty for the Future Fellowships from the Schlumberger Foundation to support her PhD research in mathematical modelling of ecological systems.<\/p>\n

The Schlumberger Foundation<\/a> is an independent non-profit body supporting science, technology, engineering,\u00a0and mathematics (STEM) education. The fellowships are awarded through the foundation\u2019s flagship programme the Faculty for the Future programme<\/a>. Fellowships are awarded to talented women from developing countries and who are pursuing advanced degrees in science and engineering at leading universities worldwide.<\/p>\n

Savannah, who is from Uganda, completed a postgraduate diploma in mathematical sciences at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) before she joined Stellenbosch University to do her masters\u2019 degree in mathematical sciences.<\/p>\n

The fellowship will allow her to continue with her PhD degree at Stellenbosch University under the supervision of C\u00b7I\u00b7B core team member, Prof Cang Hui. Savannah\u2019s research focuses on co-evolutionary dynamics of complex adaptive networks. As human wellbeing relies largely on ecosystem health and services, her project seeks to understand both ecological (short term) and evolutionary (long term) processes that increase and protect biodiversity for maintaining ecosystem function and services.<\/p>\n
