Post Doctoral

 PhD in Biometry at the Doctoral School of Agronomic and Water Sciences of the University of Abomey-Calavi, 2020:2023 on the topic:''Empirical Evaluation of Machine Learning Techniques for Disease Detection and Yield Prediction in Tomatoes under Simulated Climate and Infection Conditions" 

MSc degree in Biostatistics on the topic: “using of the multivariate longitudinal data analysis to assess growth patterns of maize (Zea mays) in Benin, 2018 

Bachelor degree in Agronomy with a specialization in Natural Resources Management, 2015 

Research project (Max 200 words): Wastage of agricultural yield is almost 40 % due to lack of field monitoring, non-identified like disease. To optimize agricultural production, it is important to early detect plants diseases and apply adequate treatment to them. 

Three years of research experience utilizing biostatistics and statistical R programming with experience as data analyst (data mining, data management and modeling) in several agriculture, food security and health-related research projects. 

After my High School Diploma in Biology and Chemistry in 2002, I enrolled for a Master I course in Geography at the Faculty of Literature Arts and Human Sciences followed by a Master II Course in Natural Resources and Biodiversity Management at the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences (University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin) 

The use of single-production function is widespread in agricultural sector for efficiency analysis since last decades. However, this approach is analytically inappropriate to accommodate the multi-input and multi-output production technology which is especially observed in the public sector, where policy makers usually face multi-dimensional decisions and budget trade-offs

Young women aspiring to high level science, she studied Agronomy at the Agricultural University of Ketou. There she graduated in Agronomy and Natural Resources Management (2013). Thereafter I pursued graduate studies in climate change and Education at The University of The Gambia (with WASCAL program). In 2015, she graduated and got a Master of Science degree in climate change and education. In 2017 she has started her post graduate studies in climate change and biodiversity at the University Felix Houphouet Boigny.

Yannick Mugumaarhahama, born on August 28, 1987, in Gitarama, holds a state diploma in industrial electrical engineering from the Institut Technique Avenir in Bukavu, DRC. He earned a degree in agronomy from the Catholic University of Bukavu and a Bachelor’s in Animal Production from the Université Évangélique en Afrique (UEA) in 2011. In 2013, he became a research and teaching assistant at UEA’s Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, where he currently serves as Lecturer and Researcher in statistics. To strengthen his expertise, he earned an MSc in Biostatistics with distinction in 2018 from the University of Abomey-Calavi, coordinated by LABEF. 

Souand Peace Gloria Tahi is a postdoctoral researcher in Biometry from Benin, with a strong background in statistical modeling, machine learning, and environmental data analysis. She holds a Master's degree in Biostatistics and completed a PhD in Biometry with DAAD, AI4D, and Mawazo scholarships. Her postdoctoral research focuses on unraveling the complex interplay of environmental dynamics, socioeconomic factors, and demographic determinants in tropical disease patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). In addition to her work on tropical diseases, Souand is also involved in improving maize yield prediction models by integrating real-world data, such as climate, soil, and sensor-based inputs, to support climate-resilient agriculture. 

Olaiya M. ADEOTI, born on November 25, 1994, in Aguidi/Sakété, Republic of Benin, embarked on his academic journey with a baccalaureate in Biology and Geology, with distinction, in 2012 at First Secondary School (CEG 1) of Sakété. Accepted and admitted at admittance exam to Agriculture University of KETOU (UAK), actual National University of Agriculture (UNA), he pursued further education at the National University of Agriculture (UNA), Benin, from 2012. He graduated (high distinction) in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Agronomy, Food Technology, as major of the batch at " School of science and technology for agricultural products conservation and processing (ESTCTPA)".
