		University of Calgary PhD Research: Representation Learning for Unstructured Genetic Data with Applications to Polygenic Analysis of Complex Traits My research basically focus on developing novel biostatistical and representation learning (AI/ML) methods to identify genetic factors underlying complex diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders, with a strong emphasis on interpretability and mechanistic insight. My research bridges statistical genetics, deep learning, and explainable AI to improve our understanding of disease biology and heritability.
		University of Calgary Research Project: Analysis of multi-scale Data This project I worked on making understanding of multi-scale data on a real survival data application.
		University of Calgary Research Project: Survival Analysis of Heart Failure Patients In this project I performed survival analysis on heart failure patients data.
		University of Calgary Research Project: Predicting phenotype by genotypes: a comparison of multiple models The primary objective of this research project is to predict the observable traits or characteristics of an organism, referred to as the phenotype, based on its genetic makeup, or genotype. To achieve this, we employ various machine learning tech- niques, such as ridge regression and lasso, that are commonly used in predictive modeling.
		African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Ghana Research Project: Optimization and Generalization of Shallow Neural Networks with Quadratic Activation Functions This project has been done for the completion of my Msc in Machine Intelligence during the African Master in Machine Intelligence, AMMI program in Ghana, sponsored by Google and Facebook.
		Gene Golub SIAM Summer School Research Project: Accelerating Stochastic Gradient Descent using Predictive Variance Reduction The summer school, founded by SIAM as the result of a generous bequest of former SIAM President Gene Golub, offers schools in applied mathematics, computational science, and industrial mathematics, primarily for graduate students in mathematics and computer science. As part of the South Africa Group, I worked on Accelerating Stochastic Gradient Descent using Predictive Variance Reduction.
		African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Research Project: Abelian extension and crossed module for Lie algebras This project has been done for the completion of my Msc in Mathematical Sciences at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Senegal
		University of Dschang, Cameroon Research Project: (Co)homologie des espaces de configuration This project has been done for the completion of my Master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Dschang, Cameroon
