"What you do not know is what you learn because you were learning to understand it."
Specializing in Computational Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning applications for the modern world.
Prof. Olufunke Rebecca Vincent was born into the family of the Late Prince Adebayo Joseph Osagunna. She began her higher education career at the Federal College of Education, Abeokuta, where she read Integrated Science (Double Major). She later attended the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), where she obtained a B.Sc. Degree in Mathematical Sciences (Computer Science option) in 1999 and an M.Sc. degree in Computer Science in 2005.
In 2008, she proceeded to Germany for her Ph.D. fieldwork with the Computational Intelligence Group at Clausthal University of Technology. After defending her Ph.D. in 2010, she completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Germany in 2014. She is a Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and a Fellow of the Nigeria Computer Society.
Throughout her career, Dr. Vincent has held significant leadership roles, including being the pioneer Ag. Head of Department of Computer Science and pioneer Director of ICT at Chrisland University. She has been a member of the faculty at FUNAAB since 2002, serving as an Associate Professor since 2017.
