Early life and career [edit]

Rukundo was born and raised Roman Catholic in Rwanda. He attended Kigali Institute of Science and Technology, earned a degree in electronics and telecommunication engineering (2005) and he was employed for 18 months at Société Interbancaire de Monétique et de Télécompensation au Rwanda before moving on to Huazhong University of Science and Technology for his master's and PhD degrees in electronics and information engineering with a specialization in communication and information systems (2007 - 2012).[10] His research interests to date include electronic fault diagnosis with analog signal systems and signal processing with strong focus on image interpolation. Rukundo served as a reviewer for several journals,[11][12] including the SPIE Journal of Electronic Imaging.[13]

Personal life [edit]

In an August 11, 1997 secretive night-time military operation, Gabon returned Olivier Rukundo to his homeland forcedly. Olivier Rukundo fled to Gabon in June 1997 after trekking for 6 months across the equatorial forest of the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire) and later fleeing fierce fighting in Brazzaville.[14]
