Biography

Peter Adebayo Idowu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria. Dr Idowu received MPhil (Computer Science) and PhD (Computer Science) from Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom and Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria in 2009 and 2012 respectively. His research focus is on Applied Computing that is application of computing to address and solve health related problems in Sub Saharan Africa. He developed the first Health Data Model for Nigeria. He is currently researching into HIV/AIDS, Sickle Cell Anaemia, Sex Classification Model using ECG, disease modelling and cloud computing in health care delivery. He is a Member of British Computer Society, Internet Society Nigeria Chapter, Nigerian Computer Society, Computer Professional Registration Council of Nigeria, Nigerian Young Academy, International Geospatial Society, International Association of Engineers and International Federation of Information Processing WG 9.4. His research interest includes Health Information System, Database Design, Data Modelling, Software Engineering, Geographical Information System, and Informatics. Within the last seven years, Dr Idowu has successively trained over 20 graduate students (including PhD). He has published over 90 scientific research articles in journals and referred conference proceedings. He is blessed with three Research Associates; Praise, Vicky and Peter. He enjoys reading and driving.
