AIMS Scholarship
I was awarded a fully funded scholarship to study Mathematical Sciences at AIMS South Africa, affiliated with Stellenbosch University. The scholarship covers tuition, accommodation, and living expenses.
I came to AIMS after completing a BSc in Mathematics in Kinshasa. The programme gave me access to a research environment I wouldn’t have had otherwise — structured around both coursework and a thesis. I graduated in 2024 with a thesis on Gaussian Processes for Multivariate Functional Data, supervised by Prof. Sophie Dabo-Niang.
AIMS South Africa is based in Muizenberg, a small coastal town on the edge of Cape Town. Living there was a different kind of experience. The mountain, the ocean, the beach, and a charming, often a very unstable, weather. It’s a good place to study.
