I am an applied mathematician and educator interested in mathematical modelling, statistics, epidemiology, and data science. My research focuses on developing quantitative approaches for understanding and addressing practical challenges in public health, education, and community development.
My work brings together mathematical modelling, biostatistics, numerical methods, and statistical computing to translate complex data and systems into useful evidence for decision-making, with particular interest in applications in Tanzania and beyond.
Research with purpose and application
My research brings together mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, and data science to address challenges in health, education, and society.
Disease Modeling
Creating mathematical models to analyze how quarantine, cross-immunity, and media awareness campaigns affect the spread of co-circulating respiratory viruses.
Clinical Health Metrics
Establishing baseline reference data for steady-state Sickle Cell Disease patients in Tanzania to improve local hospital care.
Socio-Educational Analytics
Investigating how lifestyle choices, internet habits, and social environments impact the academic performance of university students.
Data Science Leadership
Leading an institutional research group that trains African scholars in R, Python, and statistical modeling techniques.
