Ass.Prof Tushabe Florence

Associate Professor

Biography

Prof. Tushabe is an Associate Professor at Soroti University and a distinguished researcher who is passionate about AI (Artificial Intelligence). She has developed intelligent systems for object recognition in images and is passionate about Artificial Intelligence. She was first exposed to AI in 2008 while studying her PhD at the University of Groningen and fell in love with it. She first used AI techniques for traffic sign detection and has since progressed to develop AI components for skin disease diagnosis and speech-to-text recognition. She is currently using AI to detect sickle cells. See here for the dataset created so far.  

Before joining Soroti University, Professor worked with Makerere University for 13 years. She also supports several universities in Africa, India and Europe as an external examiner for Masters and PhD dissertations / theses.

She can be contacted floratush@gmail.com for further information on her scholarly works.
