I am graduate with a Master’s degree (obtained in 2023) in Computer Science from Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. I am currently looking for internship opportunities in 2D/3D Vision,and Robotics. Feel free to contact me if I am a possible match for your team.
My research is centered around how we can build generalizable and robust algorithms for understanding and interacting with the visual world with minimal human supervision, making it possible to solve complex tasks in robotics, autonomous driving, and augmented and virtual reality. In pursuit of this objective, my research draws upon computer vision, representation learning, self-supervised learning, multi-modal learning, domain adaptation and natural language processing, seamlessly integrating these domains to develop computational models that deepen our understanding of the visual world and propel us closer to realizing this goal. Also, I aim to utilize the unexplored synergies between robot perception and foundation vision, language, and vision-language models, leveraging their inherent open-set capabilities to enhance the development of generalizable vision systems.

Oct. 2023: I have received a MSc degree with highest honors and jury congratulations from Institut Polytechnique de Paris.
Sept. 2023: An extended abstract of our work on “How to train an ensemble of Faster R-CNN model to quantify uncertainity” at the 8th Junior Conference on Data Science and Engineering(JDSE) in Orsay, France 28 -29 September 2023.
Sept. 2023: I defended my Msc thesis at IP Paris. Thanks to Gilles Puy and David Hurych my advisors at valeo.ai.
Aug. 2023: I will be attending ICCV2023 in Paris, France as a student volunteer. I will be glad to connect with you.
Mentorship: I am always excited to mentor and support others to realize their full potential. I have mentored brilliant but needy students and guided them to apply for scholarships to pursue a university education. I have mentored five (5) students in my community, who are currently pursuing undergraduate programs at various universities in Ghana and abroad.
Community projects and Leadership: I founded a non-governmental organization called TechOne Foundation in Zebilla, my hometown in the Upper East Region of Ghana. Through this initiative, I teamed up with my friends in the community to provide ICT lessons to students. We have plans to extend the scope of the foundation to provide training programs in data science and software engineering to help the youth and school dropouts in Zebilla to acquire skills in these demanding areas to make themselves employable. Also, in France, I serve as the media secretary of the National Union of Ghanaians Students France Chapter.
Tutoring: During my time as a teaching assistant at the Department of Computer Engineering, I organized tutorial lessons in Computer Vision, Robotics, Linear Electronics, and Computer Graphics. In these sessions, I helped the students to have a further grasp of course concepts that were taught by the professors.
Volunteering: I have taken part in several community give-back initiatives during my time as a Mastercard Foundation Scholar. From teaching high school students to blood donation campaigns. I cherished every opportunity I had to give back to my community. In 2018, I spent two (2) months volunteering at Turing Trust Foundation in Kumasi, Ghana as a technical assitant. I installed useful educational software such as Microsoft Office Suite, Mavis Beacon Typing tutor and fixed glitches on recycled computers that were distributed to various basic and Junior High Schools in Ghanna to aid in the teaching and learning of ICT.
Please feel free to reach out, if you find this interesting and would like to collaborate for us to make an impact. I am always opened to learning from other people’s ideas. Together we can make the world better and put smiles on the faces of people.
