About me

Health systems researcher with interdisciplinary training in Biotechnology (BSc Hons) and Hospital Administration (MHA, First Class with Honours) from Integral University, India. My work focuses on health systems strengthening, implementation science, digital health governance, and artificial intelligence in healthcare.

I have experience in mixed-methods research, systematic reviews, monitoring and evaluation, and humanitarian health programming in conflict-affected settings in Nigeria. My research interests include AI-driven health systems transformation, health equity, and resilient health infrastructure in low-resource settings.

I am currently engaged in research on AI integration in tertiary healthcare institutions and governance frameworks for digital health systems in fragile contexts.
