About

Hello and Welcome! I'm currently a Masters in Intelligent Computing Systems student at Ashesi University and a Student Researcher at Google Research. Before that, I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University for Development Studies. I spent some time after that as a research assistant, exploring generative models and their applications in healthcare under the guidance of Prof. Mohammed Daabo. I also interned at the SMART Lab of North Dakota State University fortunate to be advised by Prof. Armstrong Aboah.

My research interest lies at the intersection of Biomedical NLP and NLP for low resource languages. On the biomedical side, I am interested in Trustworthy Methodologies towards reliable Expert Medical AI Systems.

At ML Collective, I'm currently part of the Medical Imaging Group. Previously, I led Multimodal AI and the Self-Supervised Learning for Small Datasets in Healthcare focus group.

Besides my academic and research pursuits, I still enjoy farm life.
