Education

Doctorate, Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)
  • at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak
  • February 2014

Started in March 2011.

Master's degree, Information and Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)
  • at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
  • February 2009

I obtained a GPA of 3.625 out of a maximum achievable 4.0. My thesis was focused on the development of 2 hybrid techniques from 3 existing Artificial Intelligence techniques in the successful prediction of Porosity and Permeability of some Middle Eastern and American Oil and Gas Reservoirs. The hybrid models outperformed the exisiting standalone techniques with higher correlation coefficient and lower execution time. offering both higher efficiency and less time. This ground-breaking research has earned me 3 publications in reputable international journals and 4 papers in highly-recognized international IEEE-standard conferences.

Bachelor's degree, Computer Science (Software Engineering)
  • at Federal University of Technology, Akure
  • February 1999

I obtained a CGPA of 4.01 out of the maximum achievable 5.0. My dissertation was focused on the development of a Personnel Management System that manages the records of employees and keeps track of their career development. It was recommended for practical implementation and use in the management of the entire staff of the university.
