What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration, innovation, and growth in mathematics and data science.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Manitoba, focusing on Numerical and Computational Mathematics. My academic journey has been marked by a strong commitment to research, culminating in a Master’s degree from Stellenbosch University, where I graduated with distinction. My thesis on B-Fredholm theory has contributed to the field, and I have presented my findings at various seminars, showcasing my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant, where I engaged with over 100 students in advanced mathematics courses. My role involved not only teaching but also providing administrative support and mentoring students. I have a passion for fostering learning and have successfully coached students in preparation for significant examinations, leading to numerous admissions into universities.

My technical skills include proficiency in MATLAB, R, and Python, which I have utilized in both academic and practical settings. I am eager to leverage my expertise in a collaborative environment that values innovation and academic excellence, contributing to impactful research and teaching initiatives.
