John's Bio

Specialist in data science and artificial intelligence, I'm currently a logistician researcher at UCLouvain (Belgium) in the Mathematical Engineering department INMA/ICTEAM, where I use AI, deep learning and optimization to solve engineering and industrial problems. I teach programming, data science, software engineering and optimization courses at the University of Abomey-Calavi (Benin) as external and visiting lecturer. I'm actively involved in evangelizing AI and Data Science in Africa and developing applications in Africa for Africa, through various initiatives and projects like water sanitation and air quality monitoring.
