Dear all, Jose Leopoldo Nhampossa is meant to be my name. Born in Mozambique. After completing my pre-University education I joined a course in Maths & Phisics at the high pedagogical institute in Mozambique. I completed my Master in computer engineering in ex-URSS, but Ukraine. Then my academic focus was in coding theory, applied Maths and modeling complex systems. After few years of work as university assistance, I am here and now shifting my roles as PhD student and HISP member. Not sure when I started to interact with our health information systems programme/Project (HISP), but probably from its embryonary phase. Since then new challenges I have been facing in my attempt to shift from the objective to subjective assumptions about life: neglect the cognitive aspects of information system unaware of the importance of considering formal aspects of information system. The computer scientist will attach a technical hermeneutics to information systems, while an information systems scientist will regard information system as a social system. My research aim is to study the tensions and challenges involved in the process of translating health information systems from one context to another. Now and here I am struggling with the PhD thesis -- Jose Leopoldo. A friend in need is a friend indeed. The longer the night lasts, the more our dreams will be. |
