Our Team

The iCOMMS Team is led by Professor Ulrike Rivett and is comprised of multi-disciplined researchers who are truly dedicated to their fields of interest. The team sets out to invoke positive change within the communities they reach out to. This is achieved through the implementation of various projects within the ICT4D sector, utilising open source technologies, mobile phones, apps, and other tools that assist in the acquisition and interpretation of large scale data-sets.
