Obumneme Nwafor holds a Bachelor of Electronics Engineering and a Master’s Degree in Engineering Management (Mechanical Engineering) before undertaking a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence at School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, Glasgow Caledonian University Scotland. He currently works as a Data Scientist at the Scottish Government where his Data Architecture and Analytics team was recently nominated as one of world’s Top 100 Data Analytics Teams of 2024.
His latest research involves a novel integration of Machine Learning algorithms with Operational Risk Management models to mitigate losses in electricity distribution networks. He is also involved in multidisciplinary research projects where he leads the development of Hybrid Deep Learning Architectures and Explainable AI frameworks. These works have found real-world commercial applications in the fields of Credit Risk Management and Medical Predictive Diagnostics. He pioneered a cutting-edge Business Intelligence and AI Automation system for one of Africa’s largest electricity distribution networks. This solution consists of interconnected network optimization models that integrate real-time sub-station signals with network management data for actionable signal synthesis.
His works are published in highly-ranked academic journals, with his latest publication nominated for Best Researcher Award by the Prestigious Scientific Research Awards for top achievers in science, engineering, technology and medicine. He also serves on the editorial and review board of top academic journals such as Artificial Intelligence Review by Springer Nature. Obumneme is a fellow of Africa Society for Engineering Management, a member of the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation and recently appointed as member of the Scientific Committee of the International Congress on Electrical Engineering Oxford UK.
