Theophilus Ijiebor
Theophilus IJiebor is a distinguished data scientist and researcher, renowned for his contributions to the field of data analytics and artificial intelligence. Born on Sept 5, 1990, in Edo State, Nigeria. Theophilus has dedicated his career to harnessing the power of data and AI o drive innovation.
My academic journey began with an Associate Degree in Computer Engineering, from University of Benin, Nigeria, where I developed a strong foundation Mathematics and Statistics, my passion led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Statistics and Computer Science from the same university, where I developed a strong foundation in programming and data analysis skills. With the growing interest in the field of Software Engineering, I decided to obtained a master’s degree in Computer Science from the same university for data-driven insights in software development, where I conducted groundbreaking research in using Machine learning algorithms in software component testing and prediction. In 2021, as the interest in the field of Artificial Intelligence and its application in the healthcare industry and other fields, I decided to pursue another Master’s degree in Computer Science with specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning where I conducted different research in the field of AI/ML such as anomaly detection, Sentiment analysis using BERT and other NLP techniques at the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science, at Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, USA.
I have worked with leading tech companies and research institutions, including a group of Researchers at the University of Benin and at Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence research lab. I have attended several conferences and workshops and I have made several contribution in the data science community.
Theophilus is also a dedicated educator, having served as a teaching assistant at various university for several years, where I mentored and inspired the next generation of data scientists. Theophilus Ijiebor is known for his ability to convey complex concepts in a relatable and engaging manner.
Currently, Theophilus Ijiebor is a Senior Data Scientist at IBM, where he is currently developing cutting-edge machine learning algorithms solutions to diverse domains, from healthcare, life science, education and other domain.
