Mildred Aduamoah is a final year PhD student at the University of Edinburgh. With research in Analysis and its Applications, she focuses on optimisation problems from industry, including robotics, beer brewery and opinion dynamics. This versatile numerical framework can be used to solve optimisation problems from biology and physics. She got admitted into her PhD
Deborah Dormah Kanubala is enrolled in a PhD program at the University of Saarland in Germany with the research group of Prof. Dr. Isabel Valera. Her research is focused on developing fair machine learning models to mitigate the bias they can have on marginalised groups/populations. In contemporary times, Machine Learning models are increasingly being deployed
Derick Nganyu Tanyu is currently a Research Associate and PhD candidate at the University of Bremen, Germany’s Centre for Industrial Mathematics. He works at the intersection of Deep Learning and Scientific Computing (mostly numerical methods for Partial Differential Equations-PDEs), also known as Scientific Machine Learning. Most phenomena around us can be modeled by PDEs. By
Abdoelnaser M. Degoot is an AIMS-Canada research associate at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) and a member of Prof Wilfred Ndifon’s research group of computational biology at AIMS-Rwanda (https://ndifongroup.org/). Although he relies on both mathematics and statistics, he also does efficient programming, parallel computing and uses AI as complementary tools of induction and
Mariam Bukola Olateju received her Bachelor of Science degree, 2nd class upper division, from Lagos State University in Nigeria where she was the best graduating student in the department of Mathematics. She obtained her master’s degree in Mathematical Science from African Institute for Mathematical Science, Ghana. Due to her interest in Financial Mathematics, her thesis
