    CHEAQI-MNCH: CHaracterizing Effects of Air Quality In Maternal, Newborn and Child Health: The CHEAQI-MNCH Research Project (Co-PI)

    I am a research scientist at IBM Research Africa, with a PhD in physics. I am part of the strategic partnerships and technology incubation team which focuses on research relating to the applications of AI. I am actively involved in HE2AT Centre projects, specifically working on research project 2; high-resolution heat hazard mapping, urban heat island detection and population vulnerability assessment based on environmental, socio-economic influences. I am co-PI on the CHEAQI-MNCH project which aims to characterize the effects of air quality in maternal, newborn and child health.
