Dans ses recherches, il étudie comment la technologie numérique atterrit dans une ville informelle et postcoloniale. Il souhaite en particulier explorer comment le modèle de ville intelligente (à travers une variété de plateformes numériques urbaines) façonne la spatialité et la gouvernance de la ville de Kigali. Ce faisant, il propose une analyse fondée sur la production et la coproduction (à partir de la base) de l’espace urbain.

In his research, he investigates ways in which digital technology lands in an informal and postcolonial city. He specifically wants to explore how the smart city model (through a variety of urban digital platforms) shapes the spatiality and governance of the city of Kigali. In so doing, He offers a grounded analysis of the production and co-production (from the grassroots) of the urban space.
