About me

Played dual academic and administrative roles at both University of Bradford, UK and Taraba State University, Nigeria. I carefully prepared lecture materials and delivered same on circular economy with minimal supervision to MSc students. I also prepared course materials and delivered series of lectures on Concurrent and Distributed Systems. My role in the University of Bradford also includes Teaching Assistants (TA) which involves teaching and demonstration for BSc Computer Science, BSc Computer Science for Cyber Security, BEng Software Engineering: Internet Technologies. Highly skilled in interdisciplinary research, AI, IoT and machine learning techniques for business, scientific and social research methodologies. Able to develop own lesson plans, schemes of work and all required resources, ensuring differentiation always. So, my extensive key skills include teaching and research skills in cutting-edge technologies, business, and management disciplines.

At Taraba State University, apart from developing materials for, and teaching Engineering and Mathematical Courses for BEng Electrical and Electronics Engineering, I also worked as the faculty of Engineering examination and timetable officer, faculty representative and other administrative positions.

Research Interest

My research is focused on enabling the design of intelligent and smart business model for Circular Economy that enables smooth transition from linear to circular economy. I am working on building robust business model that can serve as decisions support systems (DSS) through the use of machine‐learning‐based approaches, semantic technologies, fuzzy logic, Internet of Things(IoT) and Artificial intelligence (AI). This will rely on these techniques for predicting real‐time tracking and analysis of product, to monitor durability and failure, which can help businesses to carry out predictive maintenance, product return pridiction, logistics optimization and so. My research interest lies at the intersection between network systems, control systems, and machine learning..

My current research interest

  • Real-time Machine Learning for Business Intelligence

  • Industry 4.0 technologies ans Circular Economy

  • Semantics Technologies and Fuzzy logic for Business Analytics

  • Artificial Intelligence and Explainable AI.

  • Big Data Analytics.

  • Products Failure Prediction and Performance related issues

  • Graph Databases (Resource Description Framework(RDF) and property Graph)

  • Technology-Based Decisions Support Systems (DSS)
