Dr. Julianne Susanne Sansa-Otim
Welcome to the online home of the IoT-ra lab, where we make smart connections happen.
Our efforts started in 2013 while we were implementing the WIMEA project thus our lab was first called the WIMEA lab. Over the years we have undertaken several interesting projects focused on building innovative Internet of Things (IoTs) artifacts that address societal challenges.
We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers comprising several specialisations including computer scientists, software engineers, meteorologists, information scientists, computer engineers, telecom engineers, entomologists and environment scientists. Our team is continuously growing to include specialists needed to implement the project at hand.
We identify community challenges and address them through investigative and development work together with our students. The internet transformed the world and we know that the internet of things being one of the critical 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, will contribute enormously to shaping our shared future.
We are therefore delighted to be part of this journey by innovating IoTs for social and economic advancement in developing regions.
We invite you our dear stakeholders to engage us through our contacts page e.g. by sharing requirements for a non existent IoT of interest, or placing an order for any one of the already developed products described on the products page, or funding further development of any of our IoT products, or any collaboration that is mutually interesting.
