Research interests
Big Data Technologies and Methodologies
I am interested in leveraging on the various big data technologies and methodologies to provide insights in a very easy visual format for decision makers in various contexts including finance, marketing, environment, social science and law to name a few.
Current research
Big Data for alleviating Poverty and Improving Sustainable Development Goals in Sudan
Data is very important for making decisions and for planning for the future. In poverty alleviation data plays a major role in measuring poverty and improve current situations for example, data about economic activities, movements and settlements, education and usage of technology. In a country like Sudan, there are major challenges in managing poverty in remote places; this is aggravated by instabilities and seasonal disruptions. Whilst it is essential for alleviating poverty and meeting SDGs, it is important to collect the right data. This is impossible without using innovative ways for collecting the right data and making the right decision. In this project we are aiming to utilise Big Data methods for detecting of regional migration of people and causes. The project will profile the types of cases whether due to political instabilities or economic pressures. Our system which will be linked to GPS and GIS will alert decision makers to sudden movements of people and in the same time provides predictors for potential migration which lead to people displacement and may exasperate new conflicts.
