Imatitikua Aiyanyo, PhD

Bio

Imatitikua Aiyanyo researches how technology and data can guide better decisions in society. Her work includes projects on business, cybersecurity, and cultural analysis. These experiences shape how she teaches. "I want students to feel confident navigating data—not just using the tools, but understanding what the results actually mean," she says. In her courses, students look at how data are created, where models might be biased, and how to communicate uncertainty clearly. Her goal is to help students think critically, ask better questions, and apply data responsibly to real-world challenges, whether in finance, policy, or community impact.
