About Me

My research interests lie in the area of safe and XAI-native wireless networks. My master's thesis research was on resource allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks using deep reinforcement learning. I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Jonathan Shock and Dr Jaco du Toit at the University of Cape Town. Prior to this, I was an undergraduate student at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, advised by Dr. Peter Alao and Dr. Matthew Olajide at the Wireless Communications Lab. My final year thesis was on the design and development of a full-duplex wireless transceivers system using 433MHz circuit modules.

I am passionate about applying cutting-edge techniques such as AI/ML and quantum technologies, to tackle the evolving challenges of wireless communications. Through my research and expertise, I am committed to fostering innovation and enhancing global connectivity.
