Emmanuel A. Atindama

I am currently an assistant professor in Data Science at the Mathematics & Statistics departments of the University of Toledo

My research interest lies in Computer Vision Applications for Robotics

My previous research focused on reconstructing data from crystal microstructures obtained via a scanning electron microscope. As such, my expertise is in computational methods for image and signals processing.

I received my PhD in Mathematics [2024] from Clarkson University under the supervision of Dr. Prashant Athavale, and my bachelors' in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Ghana.

My PhD work combines partial differential equation (PDE) diffusion and deep learning to develop both individual and hybrid approaches for restoring crystallographic data. The main contribution of my PhD research is creating a python library for processing and restoring microscopy data PyEBSD-SEM.

I am looking for research or industry positions in Statistics, Data Science or Computer Vision .

Experience

I have about seven years academic/industry experience in quantitative fields including:

Design of experiments and Sampling Plans
Statistical Analysis and Data visualization
Data mining and Predictive modeling
Image and Signal Analysis with Deep Learning

More details are available in my cv.
