OUR ALUMNI | AIMS CAMEROON

The Woman Who Is Passionate About The Simplification of Technology and Industrial Processes Ms. Ebude Yolande studied Electrical Engineering at Ecole Normale Superieure Polytechnique Yaounde where she graduated with a Master’s in Engineering. She is an AIMS-Cameroon Co-operative Master alumnus in Industrial Mathematics and a Mastercard Foundation Scholar, currently undergoing a professional doctorate in Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. While at AIMS, Ms. Ebude was selected amongst two to represent AIMS at the UNLEASH Lab in 2018, a program organized by UNDP and SDGs. She also had the opportunity to be invited to a conference on Deep Learning at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. She did her internship at GROUP 1 HOLDING and proposed a solution to three major problems occurring in fuel operations in tower sites; theft, fraud and lack of supervision. The proposed solution exposes theft done by the field agent; collects information automatically preventing the field agent from manipulating the values and embeds a notification system that informs tower company authorities on the process of fueling. Ms. Ebude Successfully obtained a professional doctorate in Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands after AIMS. She is highly passionate about technology and how industrial processes can be simplified. She believes that, with her vital analytical knowledge and skills gathered, she will continue to impact the African Industrial Sector. Besides, she is an excellent writer who participates in community healthcare education. Her research interests include Energy Market analysis, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning, and Robotics.

James is a dynamic problem solver with excellent communication skills. After obtaining a Master’s in Pure Mathematics at the University of Buea, James joined AIMS- Cameroon to explore the applications of Mathematics in solving real-world problems. This long-standing desire to use tools and techniques from Mathematics in problems of Finance and Insurance was realized at AIMS where James was offered a series of foundational courses in Stochastic Analysis and Finance. He later undertook a research project on Weather derivatives and has since submitted the ensuing paper for publication. Whilst at AIMS, James took up another in-house opportunity to obtain a post-graduate certificate in Business Management from the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT-Berlin) within the AIMS- ESMT IIP. The program, James says, prepared him for the business world and gave him adequate tools to find his way through a crowded market place. Prior to AIMS, James explored a passion for leadership and community development through engagements at the University of Buea Mathematics student union, where he served as secretary-general. AIMS, according to James, fortified these skills and experience through the opportunity to serve as the student representative of the sixth cohort at AIMS-Cameroon. He later went on to work as a software developer for the fintech startup WaZaHub in Buea before leaving to join AIMS-Cameroon again, where he supported teaching and coordinating the center’s industry initiative.

Dreaming of An Africa Where Education is Available To All Social Group Ms. Moutamal earned a Master’s in Mathematics at the University of Douala before joining AIMS-Cameroon where she graduated as valedictorian of our 2017/2018 cohort. Empowered by the give-back spirit at AIMS, Maryse joined the “Rise Africa” project where she contributes to promoting accessible education for needy children in Cameroon while teaching them some practical skills that will help them become independent and useful to others. Maryse obtained her Ph.D. degree from the University of Buea in partnership with the AIMS-Cameroon Research Center. She aspires to be acknowledged amongst the greatest scientists in Africa through ground-breaking and inspiring Research.
