Varsity Don Gets Global Recognition

An subordinate prof and caput of Postgraduate Studies astatine Robert Gordon University (RGU), Judith Abolle-Okoyeagu, has been recognised internationally for her enactment astatine the intersection of STEM education, structural wellness monitoring, and planetary collaboration.

Abolle-Okoyeagu’s probe spans 2 large areas. “Her contributions to sex equity and AI-enhanced pedagogy person shaped however institutions attack STEM education,”

Prof Abolle-Okoyeagu has precocious engineering signifier done the co-development of a hybrid instrumentality learning–enhanced finite constituent investigation (MLFEA) methodology for real-time acoustic emanation detection successful pipelines — a instrumentality with applications successful some world probe and safety-critical industries.

She has developed frameworks that link exertion acceptance theories with artificial quality adoption successful higher education. Commentators successful the acquisition assemblage person described the exemplary arsenic “a invaluable lens for knowing however universities integrate caller technologies.”

Her efforts to beforehand equity person had tangible interaction astatine RGU. The university’s receipt of the Athena SWAN Bronze Award was linked to initiatives she championed, marking a milestone successful sex inclusivity wrong the institution.

Abolle-Okoyeagu has held elder world enactment posts, including Head of the Department of Electronics & Electrical Engineering astatine RGU, wherever she spearheaded program reform. She presently oversees postgraduate studies, probe strategies, and internationalisation projects.

Her nonrecreational power extends beyond academia. She is simply a chap of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE), a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), and a Fellow of the Women’s Engineering Society (FWES).

She besides acts arsenic a adjacent reviewer for journals specified arsenic Education Sciences and Sensors, and arsenic a elder reviewer for the International Academic Forum (IAFOR).

She has led a large COIL task involving institutions successful the UK, India, and Nigeria, successful which students co-designed sustainable gathering materials from waste. “The inaugural shows however planetary collaboration tin reshape engineering education,” reported Astute People successful its Women successful STEM series.
