My Research Interests!
Throughout my academic career, I have demonstrated a commitment to research excellence, as evidenced by my consistent record of publications in reputable, peer-reviewed journals as well as growing record of peer review. As a peer reviewer I have critically reviewed manuscripts in the discipline. These valuable insights enable me to give students, particularly postgraduates, tips on how to enhance their research projects.
My research endeavours have focused on investigating complex statistical phenomena and developing innovative methodologies to address practical challenges in diverse domains. By combining theoretical rigor with practical applications, my work aims to bridge the gap between statistical theory and real-world problems for impact.
I have a variety of multidisciplinary research interests. These include creation of sustainable models using applications of mathematics and statistics in the following areas:
Building Statistical Data-Driven models for Policy insights in
Education: including Student Retention, Tuition Cost and Student Satisfaction,
Climate Change: including Machine Learning models for Natural Disaster Risk Prediction Prototype,
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in STEAM Education,
Applied Mathematical Models using Prey-Predator and Epidemic Models
See some of my research publications, book chapters and conference presentations below.

Featured Multidisciplinary Research Publications
Collaborative Research Paper with Pro Vice Chancellor of the University Office of Planning at the UWI, STA based on my work on Student Retention Prediction in Higher Education Institutions. I built a prototype for this work under the 'One UWI Model Prototypes.' Featured on the UWI Alma Jordan Library Database Website. (See Image below).
Collaborative work on the importance of Reflection in Building Capacity for Quantitative Research. These are my fellow colleagues at the Department of Behavioural Sciences where I lecture Advanced Statistics and Research Methods in Psychology.
Collaborative Research Papers with members of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the UWI, STA, where I lecture the Statistics Module of the Research Methods Graduate Course.

Selected Multidisciplinary Research Agenda
I am engaged in ongoing, multidisciplinary scholarly research publications and projects. The following areas are ongoing and upcoming projects:
Machine Learning for Climate Resilience:
Project 1: Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve coastal resilience in data-sparse locations: Caribbean region case study (AI4Coasts) – June 2024 to Nov 2025
Funded by Our Shared Ocean Project through the Marine Institute (MI) of Rinville, Oranmore, Galway, Ireland | Collaboration with members of the UWI-STA and University College, Dublin.
Project 2: Machine Learning Applications in Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience in the Caribbean – May 2024 to August 2024
Student: Matthew McGill School of Population and Global health - 2024 McGill-UWI Queen Elizabeth Scholars Program
Supervisor(s): Professors Patrick Hosein and Dr. Letetia Addison
Project Location: Trinidad, UWI St. Augustine Campus
I plan to extend the research in all these thematic areas to create opportunities for student research projects. With my strong commitment to research excellence, teaching, and collaborative endeavours, I am well-prepared to make significant contributions to multidisciplinary fields and to the community overall.
