Graduate researcher working at the intersection of AI, computational biology, and verifiable scientific workflows.
I'm a biochemistry-trained researcher currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in ICT Convergence Engineering at Kumoh National Institute of Technology, South Korea, on a K-GKS scholarship. My path into computation began with wet-lab biochemistry at the University of Lagos, where I worked on protein biology and antioxidant chemistry, and it has since grown into a programme of work on machine learning and blockchain-verified workflows for drug discovery.
I'm most interested in the moments where biology, machine learning, and reproducibility meet. I build systems that make structure-based virtual screening faster and more trustworthy, and I care deeply about the question of how we know that a model's prediction — or a pipeline's result — actually means what it claims to mean. Much of my recent work sits under that umbrella: consensus AI-docking, deterministic binding-site analysis, and tamper-evident provenance for biomedical data. More recently it has extended into digital-twin modelling of stem-cell differentiation, and for doctoral research I aim to build trustworthy AI digital twins for stem-cell-derived Parkinson's disease models — integrating multi-omics, perturbation prediction, and auditable data and model provenance.
Outside the lab, I've taught biology and chemistry to more than a hundred students in Nigeria, facilitated entrepreneurial leadership programmes across Nigerian universities, and worked in product research and business development. I like building things that are rigorous and legible — to collaborators, to reviewers, and to the people whose lives the work eventually touches.
Consensus AI–docking pipelines that combine learned scoring with target-dependent optimisation, aiming at screening libraries that are both more accurate and more verifiable than single-scorer approaches.
Deterministic workflows for protein structure preparation and binding-pocket detection, with an emphasis on reproducibility and cross-tool consistency.
Molecular activity prediction, lead optimisation, and scaffold analysis — including physics-informed and federated formulations for settings where data cannot move.
Proteomics-integrated state-space and transformer-based digital twins for dopaminergic stem-cell differentiation forecasting, with leakage-safe benchmarking — building toward trustworthy AI models of stem-cell-derived Parkinson's disease.
Blockchain-integrated provenance for biomedical pipelines, credentialing of biomaterials and certificates, and tamper-evident data management across PDB, UniProt, and IoT-sourced biomedical signals.

I'm happy to hear from collaborators, students, and groups interested in AI for drug discovery or verifiable scientific workflows. Email is the fastest way to reach me.
