About Me
I am Jérémie N. Mabiala. If you're from an English-speaking culture, you can call me Jeremy.
I am currently a student in Artificial Intelligence at the African Masters in Machine Intelligence (AMMI),
a pan-African master's program in Artificial Intelligence founded by Google and Meta,
hosted at AIMS Senegal. I am an AI enthusiast and a 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 believe this passion comes from my father and grandfather, who were both teachers. 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.
