Mathematical Scientist & Financial Engineering Candidate β specialising in the synthesis of high-level quantitative theory and actionable business intelligence. I transform multi-dimensional, noisy datasets into rigorous, evidence-based decision frameworks.
My foundation is an MSc in Mathematical Sciences (AIMS Ghana), rooted in system dynamics and signal processing β specifically, how feedback loops respond to oscillatory inputs. I am currently extending this into an MSc in Financial Engineering (WorldQuant University), focusing on derivative pricing, risk management, and the optimisation of financial systems.
I diagnose operational inefficiencies through stochastic modelling and interactive dashboarding, and translate findings into measurable institutional impact.

Completed at AIMS Ghana (2025) My research focused on the mathematical mechanics of biological regulatory pathways and system stability:
- Oscillatory Dynamics: Analyzed how negative feedback loops respond to periodic signalsβa concept directly applicable to modeling financial market cycles and asset volatility.
- Mathematical Modeling: Applied differential equations to evaluate system stability and signal processing within biochemical networks.
- System Analysis: Studied how timing and degradation rates determine the success of oscillations in repressive feedback networks.
- My research in mathematical sciences focused on the stability of dynamic systems under oscillatory pressure. I apply these same differential equations to financial markets to model how asset prices respond to cyclical economic signals and to identify the feedback thresholds that lead to market volatility.
Currently pursuing an MSc at WorldQuant University, with a technical focus on:
- Derivative Pricing & Risk: Modeling financial instruments using stochastic calculus and PDEs.
- Portfolio Optimization: Applying linear algebra and quadratic programming to asset management.
- Econometrics: Using time-series analysis to forecast market volatility and economic shocks.
Evaluated a decade of macroeconomic data (2015β2025) to model fiscal recovery and institutional transition:
- Modeled the structural synergy between copper price volatility and national debt trends.
- Identified how the 2020β22 copper windfall provided the fiscal headroom for durable institutional frameworks and debt restructuring.
- Developed interactive Power BI dashboards to visualize complex interactions between commodity cycles and investor confidence.
Built high-performance predictive models to inform data-driven customer retention strategies:
- Implemented XGBoost and Logistic Regression with engineered features and RobustScaler preprocessing.
- Applied SMOTE to address class imbalance, improving minority-class recall by 22% and overall accuracy by 12%.
- Achieved an ROC-AUC of 0.81 (XGBoost) and 0.74 (Logistic Regression) to identify key churn drivers.
Consolidated disparate monthly sales datasets into a unified data model for NorthWind Outfitters:
- Used Power Query and XLOOKUP to track revenue trends, profit margins, and regional performance.
- Optimized inventory control by monitoring stock levels, reorder points, and supplier lead times.
- Built evidence-based visual frameworks to diagnose operational inefficiencies.
