Dr Kassim Mwitondi PhD, MSc

Senior Lecturer


Summary

I am a Senior Lecturer in Data Science, and I have been a full-time member of staff of the College of Business, Technology and Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) since January 2004. I obtained PhD in Statistical Data Mining from the School of Mathematics of the University of Leeds, in December 2003, where I worked with Professors Charles C. Taylor and John T. Kent. My research work focuses on applications of Machine Learning (ML) techniques in interdisciplinary modelling of the non–orthogonal Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

About

My teaching experience spans across continents, where I have taught data–analytics related courses to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and I have delivered short courses to data practitioners in different fields. Since joining SHU, I have developed and delivered a wide range of data science related courses, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels–applied statistics, data mining, business intelligence, data analytics in sports science, project management and reflective skills. I have taken several internal module leadership roles and I am a collaborative course leader on a couple of computing programs between SHU and external partners. I have a long working experience with apprentices and industrial partners, which has profoundly helped in aligning my teaching to my research work.

My research interests are in interdisciplinary application of Machine Learning (ML) techniques in Big Data Modelling of Sustainable Development Goals (BDMSDG) via the widely cited Sample Measure Assess (SMA) algorithm. Over the years, I have established an interdisciplinary network of researchers seeking to unlock the non–orthogonal triggers of SDG targets related to agri–food, human health, environment, education, security, business, knowledge transfer and innovation. I have supervised many interdisciplinary undergraduate and postgraduate projects; I am a regular presenter at a number of international conferences on data science and related fields across the world and I have published extensively in those areas. I sit on editorial and advisory boards of several international bodies.
