Network and Graph Theory

The area of my research is in Spectral Graph Theory, which involves studying eigenvalues of matrices associated with graphs. I completed my master’s and Ph.D Degrees at Stellenbosch University and was part of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) South Africa 2013/2014 intake. I completed my undergraduate degree at Cape Coast University in Ghana. I’m currently a Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Ghana. My current research on the eccentric sequence and set of a graph. Specifically, their relation to graph spectrum. I am also working on the application of graph theory to bio-mathematics.

Dr Fadekemi Janet Osaye is a mathematician whose primary research interests are discrete mathematics and combinatorics. In particular, she is interested in distance measures in graphs and their applications to solving many real-world problems like networks. Her interest in discrete mathematics was inspired by her research project carried out at AIMS Ghana. In 2019, she became the first black female to be awarded a PhD in Mathematics by the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, in its 116 years of its existence. Since June 2021, she has been an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Alabama State University and was previously a Visiting Assistant Professor at Auburn University. She is the founder of Girlsmatics Foundation, a STEM non-governmental organization for girls in Nigeria. She was motivated by her involvement with AIMS Ghana’s outreach programs for high school students in Biriwa, Ghana. She is also the co-founder of FadNna Partners, an analytics and management firm based in Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria.
