My background

I hold an M.S. in Applied Statistics and Data Science. My work combines data science, machine learning, and explainable AI, particularly for health decision support and Alzheimer’s disease research.

I’m interested in models that are carefully evaluated and explanations that help people make sense of a result.

Sekyiwaa’s Space

I created Sekyiwaa’s Space to help people find opportunities and understand the steps needed to pursue them. I share study abroad guidance, student resources, career opportunities, and practical AI tutorials.

Life beyond research

I also share my experience of PhD life, faith, and living abroad. The questions I receive often shape what I explain next.

I want the information here to be clear enough for you to use, whether you’re preparing an application or trying something new.
