B   Brief Auto-biography

Dr. Rose Gachogu is currently a lecturer in the Mathematics Department at Laikipia University. She teaches various Mathematics courses as she researches in her area of Group theory, to develop algebraic structures for applications in other fields. She is also a member of OWSD (Organization of Women in Science for the Developing World), where she has gained a lot on gender issues. Further still, she strongly supports community activities as evidenced by her commitment as a Board of Management member in Weru and Karandi Sec schools where she has contributed to initiatives of mentorship to improve academic performance.

C   Research Interest

Group theory and Combinatorics; Development of algebraic structures for application in various fields.
