Jérémie N. Mabiala

AI Researcher & Mathematical Scientist

Welcome! I am Jérémie N. Mabiala. If you're from an English-speaking culture, you can call me Jeremy. I am currently a resident tutor in Artificial Intelligence at the African Masters in Machine Intelligence (AMMI), a pan-African flagship master's program in Artificial Intelligence founded by Google and Meta, hosted at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences,(AIMS) Senegal. I am an AI enthusiast and math lover.

Before that, I graduated from Stellenbosch University and AIMS South Africa in February 2024 with a Master's degree in Mathematical Sciences. I worked on Mathematical Statistics, specifically Functional Data Analysis. My master's thesis is titled Gaussian Processes for Multivariate Functional Data, and it is available at the AIMS Archive.

I also hold a Bachelor's degree (equivalent to Bac +5) in Mathematics from the University of Kinshasa, the Congo's leading university. There I graduated in the top 5% in my department with "Grande Distinction" (the Congolese equivalent of Summa Cum Laude). During my time there, I worked on Functional Analysis, which was my early math interest, and I served as a teaching assistant and subsidiary lecturer for two years.

I am passionate about teaching, gaining knowledge, and sharing it with others. I am particularly interested in Mathematics, Theoretical Aspects of Machine Learning and/or Deep Learning and their applications. My interests also extend to Mathematical Modeling, Functional Data Analysis, Large Language Models, and Reinforcement Learning.

I am a hobbyist developer and an apprentice writer.
