[edit] More about me ...
I hold a PHD in Physics from the University of Toulouse and a Master in Computer Engineering from Nice/Sophia-Antipolis (FRANCE). After more than 10 years spent to FRANCE working as postdoc. and then as contractual researcher (University of Limoges), I am returned in my country (BURKINA) in 1997 where I integrated the CNRST (National Centre for Scientific and Technological Research).
I am currently the Regional Manager of IRSAT (at Bobo Dioulasso : 2nd capital) which is one of the 4 Institutes of CNRST, in charge of research in the field of Applied Sciences and Technologies. In same time, I teach Physics as well as Computer Engineering in some universities and high schools of the country.
As a physicist my domain of interest is Energy & Environment (Renewable Energy, Biomass Energy, Energy Efficiency, Impacts of the Use of Energy on Environment ...).
Since my return to Burkina, I am very committed in the development of the TIC, in particular in the sector of education and research. I am currently involved in a vast project which goal is to inter-connect all the campuses and sites of Universities and Research Institutes. It is within the framework of this project that my participation in this school returns.
