Optimization of beneficiation and extraction techniques of tantalite ores.

My study seeks to add value to African mineral resources before being exported. It focuses on processing and extraction of tantalite ores using simple, cheaper and environmentally friendly techniques in contrast to the existing complex. My research will have impact on the environmental concerns as well as on cost of tantalum production, hence, making tantalum products able to compete on the market.

Determination of the genetic variation and epidemiology of African swine fever (ASF) virus in Eastern and Southern Africa.

Hakizimana’s PhD project aims at determining the transmission dynamics of African swine fever (ASF) in Eastern and Southern African countries by application of next generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatics’ tools. His study is expected to provide improved insight into the transmission and spread of ASF in the region, necessary for designing and validation of new diagnostic technologies, to formulate science-based control policies and in long term, the development of vaccines as a more sustainable solution for the control of African swine fever.
