Valentina Ocloo is a PhD Candidate at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg. Her area of research focuses on linear and nonlinear mixed-integer programming and their applications, particularly transportation, logistics, and environmental science problems. She is also currently designing a logistical system for horse collection problems. While at it, Valentina is also completing a master’s
Nii Amoo Decardi-Nelson joined AIMS Ghana in the 2020/21 academic year. He accounts that through AIMS, his mathematical acumen got sharpened much better than it used to be. The model at AIMS helped him develop the skill to critically assess research papers, systematically break down problems, build logical solutions to them and improve his programming
Elizabeth Dadzie is a PhD student at the Department of Mathematics, University of Ghana. Her research focuses on the pricing and hedging weather-linked insurance derivatives for Agricultural goods, supervised by Prof. Olivier M. Pamen and Prof. Ralf Wunderlich. The study aims to provide insurance derivatives (at a fair price) for farmers to mitigate the risk
Ebimoboere Claudius obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Niger Delta University in Nigeria, and graduated with a Master’s degree in Mathematical Sciences from AIMS Ghana in the 2018 class. In 2019, she was part of the AIMS and ESMT Berlin Industry Immersion Program (AIMS-ESMT IIP) and earned a Certificate in Business Management.
Bridgette Amoako graduated from the University of Ghana with a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Economics in 2019. She proceeded to AIMS Ghana to pursue a Master of Science degree in 2020. She was also privileged to be part of the AIMS-ESMT Industry Immersion Program which prepares selected AIMS graduating students and alumni who are

Joshua graduated from the University for Development Studies, Ghana, in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics). He continued to KNUST in 2014 to study for an MPhil in Applied Mathematics. During his second year at KNUST, he applied to AIMS Ghana in 2015 for an MSc in Mathematical Science and successfully graduated
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
