The Mathematics Community, KNUST.

⏰ It's 20 days before the highly anticipated Data for Health in Africa Meeting and 5th DS-I Africa Consortium Meeting at the Cedi Conference Centre, University of Ghana from the 23rd – 29th August 2025. 🤝 This landmark event is jointly funded by the Wellcome Trust (@wellcometrust) and The National Institutes of Health (@NIH). ‼️ The meeting is open to Wellcome Trust and DSI-Africa grantees. ℹ️ This year’s theme is “Data Science in Africa: Strengthening Partnerships and Collaboration across Networks, Sectors and Impact Areas”. 💬 Meet one of our keynote speakers: Prof Peter Amoako-Yirenkyi is a Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics. He has over two decades of experience in Computer vision, Scientific Computing and industrial modelling. He has worked with several organizations on many projects, including the @UN, @WHO, @CERN, @UNESCO, and the Citizen Cyberscience Center in Geneva-Switzerland. He is the lead scientist for the National High-Performance Computing Laboratory hosted by Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi(@KNUSTGH) and the director of Scientific and Technical Computing at the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences(NIMS-Ghana), Ghana. He has served as a Principal and Co-principal investigator for many grants from several funding sources, including The World Bank, The National Institutes of Health and the Fogarty International Centre, the Norwegian academy of science and letters and Petroleum Geo services. Prof. Amoako-Yirenkyi has also consulted and developed several computer application suites and set up network infrastructure in many countries. He is currently the lead Scientist and developer for Medical Analytics and Technology Engine(MATE) for Health Innovation - A smart and transformative Medical Analytics and Technology Resource for Integrated eXperience (MATRIX) designed to revolutionize healthcare through advanced medical analytics, cutting-edge technology, centralized resources, and seamless integration. He teaches Structured thinking, Mathematics for Data science, scientific and high-performance computing, Numerical Analysis, discrete structures, graph theory, machine learning and data visualization. He has publications and research interests in High-Performance Computing, Fractional and Stochastic Differential Equations, Reservoir Simulation, Human identification and Recognition, Wavelets, Traffic and fleet modelling, Complex Energy Constrained modelling, Water resource modelling and complex financial modelling. He is skilled in sparse representations in Redundant Dictionaries, distributed ranking algorithms and educational resource management. He has training grants for student and faculty training in scientific computing and industrial modelling, data analytics and computational genomics, biomedical data science applications in imaging science, computational biology and public health. 🌐 More Info: lnkd.in/eWEzjUEG #DSIAfrica #DSIAfrica2025 #DataScience #ECR
