About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Cooperative Distributed Systems Lab at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, where I am advised by Professor Manish Kumar. I am currently a Digital Future Fellow working on developing a human digital twin for industrial applications. I previously received a B.S. in Systems Engineering at the University of Lagos in Nigeria in 2016, and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 2021.

Previously, I interned twice at NVIDIA. In 2021, I was an AI marketing engineer where I authored the first Introduction to NVIDIA Conversational AI eBook. An area I had to learn in less than three months. In 2022, I interned as a Product marketing manager focused on the robotics developer community. Working with cross functional teams such as research, engineering, product and technical marketing in Robotics, I have the requisite knowledge in developing industry-level and production-grade robotics softwares.

Research Interests

My research focus is state estimation, multi-agent deep reinforcement learning, and AI for robotics. Previously, I have worked on sensor fusion and localization algorithms for mobile robots (single-agent and multi-agent cooperative localization) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using different Kalman filters. I am currently working on imitation and deep reinforcement learning to control robot swarms. Specifically, I design decentralized controllers for large robot swarms that exhibit behaviors in nature and explore deep RL techniques for competitive games.

In summary, my interests are not limited to:

• Deep Reinforcement learning in robotics: robot swarms and competitve games.
• Industrial Metaverse: Digital Human Twin Motion Modeling.
• Sensor Fusion and Localization: Visual, Inertial, and Lidar sensors, ground, and aerial robots in indoor and outdoor environments.
• Classification using Computer Vision and Machine learning techniques.
