About Me

My research interest lie in the area of machine learning application in communications. My current research work is on resource allocation in wireless networks using deep reinforcement learning under the supervision of Professor Jonathan Shock (Director of University of Cape Town AI initiative) and Dr Jaco du Toit ( Head AI/ML & Data Technology Strategy, Vodacom, South Africa). Prior to this, I was an undergraduate student at the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I also served as a research assistant at the Wireless Communication Lab under the supervision of Dr. Matthew Olajide and Dr. Peter Alao. My final year project involved design and development of full-duplex wireless transceivers system using 433MHz circuit modules.

I am particularly passionate about applying cutting-edge techniques such as reinforcement learning and quantum technologies to tackle the evolving challenges of this domain. Through my research and expertise, I am committed to fostering innovation and enhancing global connectivity.


Research & Work Experience
