| Dr Blessing Ogbuokiri completed a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Computer Science from the School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, University of the Witwatersrand (Wits), Johannesburg, South Africa. He has over fifteen (15) years of combined professional experience across a broad range of fields in academia, industry, and community-based organizations. He is a dynamic team player who is eager to utilise his diverse talents to advance in research and innovation. He has a remarkable academic record at all levels of education. He holds the PSYBERGATE Computer Science Alumni Prize for the Best Student Tutor in 2016 at Wits. Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow and instructor at York University and a recipient of the Google DeepMind AlphaGo AI award. He has gained practitioner-based proficiency in qualitative research, data visualization, machine learning, deep learning, IBM data science, database management, AI ethics and policy, TensorFlow, project management, and module content development. Dr Ogbuokiri has collaborated actively with researchers in several interdisciplinary groups such as the Africa-Canada Artificial Intelligence and Data Innovation Consortium (ACADIC) at York University, Black in AI (BAI), Canadian Black Scientist Network (CBSN), Black Creek Community Health Center (BCHC), and High Performance & Intelligent Computing Group (HiPIC Lab) in using artificial intelligence to help government and local communities to contain and manage the spread of community-based infectious disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19, Malaria, and Monkeypox. |
