Experience

Machine Learning and AI Researcher
California, United States
-Enhanced LLaVA pre-training with MixGen multi-modal data augmentation, boosting performance by 0.3% on the OKVQA visual question answering task and improving overall model accuracy. -Implemented de-noising methods based on VAEs achieving a 19% increase in SNR and a 12% reduction in RMSE over ICA, enhancing fetal ECG signal clarity and diagnostic reliability in pre-natal care.

Research And Teaching Associate
Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria
-Supervised a faculty research project leading to generation of electric power for University use by harnessing solar energy, reducing electric power cost by 15%. -Prepared graphical-oriented lecture notes and courseware for EEE 408 (Digital Signal Processing) and EEE 313 (Computer Aided Design), enhancing students' performance by about 60% and 65% respectively compared to last academic year.

Automation Engineer
Lagos
-Led a conveyor improvement project with precise drive pulley and belt installation and optimized motor speeds using VFDs and PLCs, cutting machine downtime by 10%. -Executed electrical maintenance schedules, reducing intermittent machines overhauling and maintenance costs by about 20%.

Robotics and AI Research Fellow
Applied Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Research Lab
Obafemi Awolowo University
-Attained a 50% reduction in joint torque error (RMSE) for a stroke rehabilitation robot with carefully designed system identification experimental procedures. -Reduced robot task completion time by 20% in a human-robot interaction environment through the implementation of optimal iterative learning control.
