Dr Blaise Mafuko Nyandwi is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Volcanology and Disaster Risk Management at the University of Goma with a background in environmental geology. His research seeks to understand the interaction between humans and natural environment in the framework of mitigating natural hazards impacts. Through a multidisciplinary lens, encompassing geosciences, and social sciences, Blaise’s research aims to unravel the complexities of human-nature interactions, ultimately contributing to the development of proactive measures that can mitigate the impact of natural hazards on human societies.
Whilst at CSER, Blaise will be working with Lara Mani on data analysis on the joint Cambridge Africa ALBORADA Fund project, and to network and conduct risk communication knowledge exchange as part of this project.
