Dr. Omofolakunmi (Fola) Olagbemi
Assistant Professor of Computer ScienceDr. Fola Olagbemi joined the Department of Computer Science at Hope College in July 2020. Prior to that, she was a part-time instructor at Western Michigan University (WMU) while completing her doctoral program in computer science. She graduated with her doctoral degree in the fall 2019 semester. In her time at WMU, she taught advanced Java classes (which included an introduction to data structures), the lab sections of the introduction to Java class and an introductory course in web technologies. She also taught the equivalent of the advanced Java class in Python.
在攻读博士学位之前,Fola曾在银行业工作,并分别在普华永道(PricewaterhouseCoopers)驻尼日利亚的咨询和保证能源业务部门担任助理顾问和高级助理。自从加入Hope以来,Fola教授或正在教授软件设计与实现、数据结构与软件设计(都是Java语言)以及Python编程导论。
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Fola’s research areas include high performance computing, applying GPUs and CUDA to scientific computations including the estimation of multivariate numerical integrals from diverse fields such as Bayesian Statistics and High Energy Physics. More recently, she has developed an interest in machine learning and hopes to conduct research in related fields including recommender systems.
