Ulemu Nyasulu holds a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) from the University of Malawi, and a Master of IT (Networking) from James Cook University, Queensland, Australia. Her career has spanned from lecturing in Computer Science, working as a fellow at the secretariat for the IGF, and tutoring at DiploFoundation. She spends most of her time doing research on ICT issues in Africa, so that she can be well prepared for her tutoring duties, and can participate meaningfully in different ICT forums, on a national, regional and global level. Ulemu has also been involved in the formation of the National Research and Education Network (NREN) of Malawi. NRENs are blossoming throughout Africa with the aim of interconnecting local higher education centres with fibre so that they can collaborate in research, and share e-resources and ‘real’ resources, such as lecturers via video conferencing. Since completing the IGCBP, Ulemu has a more balanced approach to her ICT career, with a better understanding of legal, socio-economic, and policy issues.
