PhD Overview

My research centers on the control of autonomous systems, specifically focusing on developing control systems that enhance performance. I aim to explore and analyze optimization strategies for control measures associated with path planning, trajectory tracking, adaptability, and intelligent behaviour in complex, heterogeneous environments. This research will be applied in fields such as agricultural and medical robotics.

Sustainability Goals

  • Good Health and Well-being
  • Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

About Me

I am a dynamic lecturer with over 13 years of experience, lecturing in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I was recently awarded the 2025 Schlumberger Foundation Fellowship to pursue a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. I earned my MSc in Advanced Control and Systems Engineering at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, sponsored by the Regional Maritime University. As a young woman who has faced various challenges, I have made significant progress, thanks in part to the support of institutions like the Regional Maritime University and the Schlumberger Foundation. Driven and motivated by my life experiences, I am deeply committed to advocating for girls and women in Africa. I am currently developing a national science and math quiz program in Cameroon that offers special incentives for girls in STEM. I am dedicated to mentoring the next generation of female leaders in science and engineering.
