I am a Fellow, Graduate Statistician, Chartered Statistician, and Chartered Scientist of the Royal Statistical Society, United Kingdom, and also a member of the Nigeria Statistical Association, Professional Statisticians’ Society of Nigeria, International Biometric Society, Nigeria Mathematical Society, and International Statistical Institute (ISI), among others. I am an applied statistician interested in developing statistical models for complex biological systems and their application to problems in science and industry with an interest in understanding how statistical concepts are best communicated. I have collaborated with researchers from other disciplines like Public Health, Forestry, and Sociology within and outside the country and was among the delegates invited by UNDP (REDD+) to advance knowledge in climate change modeling. I was a participant in the WHO/TDR Programme on Implementation Science and a Senior Research Fellow of the Working Group providing technical content on projects and initiatives at the University of Ibadan Research Foundation and a member/Mentee on the Ibadan Partnership on the Africa Research on Implementation Sciences and Education (ARISE) project hosted in Tanzania and also the China-Harvard African Network (CHAN) project at the University of Ibadan.
