Stephen Moore is an expert in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and senior lecturer at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. He is an awardee of the TWAS Research Grants Programme, supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), and in November 2024 he joined the TWAS Skill Building Workshop in Dakar, Senegal.
In this video, he shares how he combines mathematical models with machine learning techniques to study disease spread. He also discusses how a TWAS research grant allowed him to study COVID-19, malaria, and other diseases. The grant, he explains, enabled him to acquire essential books and a co-workstation for faster simulations. Additionally, he attended conferences and workshops in Germany, Rwanda, and Kenya, where he presented his work and shared his knowledge with other researchers.
