Profile


Currently, I am an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Statistics, Akwa Ibom State University, Nigeria. Previously, I lectured in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Ritman University. Ikot Ekpene, Nigeria.

I obtained a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Masters of Science (MSc), both in Statistics from the University of Uyo, Nigeria.

My current research interests are in the area of Data Science, Statistical Machine Learning, and modelling of dynamical systems with particular attention to the medical domain. I am particularly interested in the Bayesian Inference method and Uncertainty Quantification in random processes for model integrity of optimal decision making.

I am open to PhD opportunities and collaborative research within the areas mentioned above.



Research Area
