I build applied AI systems that solve industry challenges in FinTech, digital health, and maritime analytics. I teach data science and supervise PhD projects that bridge academic rigour with real-world deployment.

I bring an interdisciplinary background spanning economics, development policy and computational data science — trained across institutions in Nigeria, South Korea and the UK. My work focuses on trustworthy AI, transformer-based models for transaction monitoring, and data-driven decision support systems.

Biography

My academic journey began in economics with a BSc from Ahmadu Bello University, followed by postgraduate training including an MSc at the KDI School in South Korea and doctoral research in the UK. Over time I transitioned from applied econometrics into machine learning and AI, focusing on methods that deliver measurable impact in industry and public policy.

Research Focus

Current research includes transformer-based models for AML, human-centred AI for healthcare, and applied maritime analytics. I lead industrial collaborations and supervise projects that translate research into deployed systems.

Teaching & Supervision

I teach modules across data science, machine learning and econometrics, and supervise Master's and PhD students. My supervision emphasises reproducible research, open science and industry engagement.
