  The African School Series on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications
(ASESMA) has had a positive impact on growth of computational material science
in Kenya, visibility of Kenyan universities and strong collaboration ties
between Kenyan scientist and the rest of the world. Data retrieved from Scopus
indicate that computational materials scientists in Kenya have published
numerous articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings in peer-reviewed,
high impact journals. The trend is likely to continue due to access to
affordable computers, spread of electricity to remote areas, open-source
softwares and cheaper internet.
