Genocide orphan now MIT professor Dr Aristide Gumyusenge grew up in a rural area in Rwanda and attended modest educational institutions where he excelled in mathematics, biology and chemistry. The 29-year-old, who is to join the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, attributes his achievement to hard work. He learned about his appointment as a professor at MIT in the department of materials science only recently. He will be the only black faculty member in the department. “I am honoured to announce that I’ll be joining MIT as an assistant professor starting in Jan[uary] 2022,” he said on Twitter. “My lab will focus on novel organic materials for smart electronics (OMSE Lab). Many thanks to all my mentors, colleagues, family and friends for enabling this moment!”
