About Me

Personal Profile

I am currently a PhD student in Data Science with the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science. My research focuses on natural language processing, with a particular interest in low-resource African languages.

I hold a National Diploma in Mathematics and Statistics from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, a Bachelor of Science in Statistics from the University of Ibadan, and a Master's degree in Mathematical Science from the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Rwanda.

I am passionate about machine learning, computational linguistics, and inclusive AI. I am committed to increasing the representation of African languages in technology. Moreover, I enjoy teaching and mentoring students across mathematics, statistics, and computer science.
