Temperature and Pressure Control Simulation

We considered an interacting loop and process fermentation. Models the fermentation tank temperature and pressure dynamics. Uses PID control for both temperature and pressure. Simulates the system's response to heat (yeast) and CO₂ disturbances. Plots real-time regulation toward setpoints.

Review of 2024

Building AI solutions for Africa requires more than just technical expertise - it demands persistence, vision, and a deep understanding of local challenges. 2024 proved that combining technical innovation with practical solutions can drive real change in African markets. As we advanced our work on identity verification systems, each challenge reinforced why local context matters in AI development. Key milestones that shaped our impact: • Won 2024 MBB Grant Award (2x winner) for Ojumi platform • Promoted to Head of AI at Gamol Studio • Began MSc in Electrical/Electronics Engineering at University of Lagos • Led development of AI-powered identity verification solutions Most impactful developments: "Ojumi AI-Powered Identity Verification" Designed to address fragmented identity systems and expand financial inclusion across Africa https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7276479942123540480/ "Advancing AI Research in African Markets" How local context shapes...

Conveyor Belt Simulation Control

In this simulation, I showed how the conveyor belt for Dangote Cement Factory can be modelled for effective control using matlab and simulink.

Induction Machine Simulation

Induction Machines are quite useful in industrial designs because of their variable speed control and applity for easy configuration.

Ibrahim is an AI expert with over half a decade experience in the African tech space. He is all about growth and greatness with innovation in Africa. He works as the Chief AI Scientist at Gamol Studio.

Building for Africa

That is why I focus on building AI solutions for Africa, irrespective of whether the Western version already exists. It is a fact that Western tools often don't perform well with local feature detection or deployment realities in Africa. In Africa, however, we like to talk and watch others do things for us. With my AI works, I hope it inspires more innovators to build for Africa and iterate till it fits our local contexts. Individually, this will give us confidence that we are not spectators and allow us to contribute significantly to the league of AI research. Africa should not just be a deployment zone. It can also be the building zone that prevents AI solutions from being biased in Africa. No GPT of the future can guarantee that without us. I believe that the key contribution is our work to do.

Ojumi

Ojumi is an ai powered identity recorgnition software. It identify faces, fingerprints, passports and NIN documents. Oju means eyes. Ojumi means my eyes. It is an intelligent eyes for verification. As a verification layer, it can be synced with fintech, security, education and entertainment platforms (tickets).

Finite Element Analysis for DFIG

Finite element analysis (FEA) is the process of predicting an object’s behavior based on calculations made with the finite element method (FEM). While FEM is a mathematical technique, FEA is the interpretation of the results FEM provides. FEA gives engineers insights into complex systems and structures, helping them make more informed design decisions.

Lochav

Our locust harvesting technology is called locharv. It is simply a drone driven, lightweight, origami deployable structure for locust fishing. At the core is our ai driven technology for locust tracking, capturing and notification system. Our solution is designed to capture the maximum obtainable locust per flight with its capturing net. This net is a specially designed origami net specifically for locust capturing. Visit our website for more locharv website
