| Young Scientist Award

Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Nigeria | Nigeria

Dr. Joseph Odunayo Braimah is a Nigerian statistician and academic whose expertise spans industrial statistics, reliability engineering, acceptance sampling, biostatistics, and applied statistical modelling. He holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, where his doctoral research focused on evaluating the performance of truncated sampling plans. He also earned an M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Statistics from the same institution, along with a Postgraduate Diploma in Education from the National Teachers’ Institute, Kaduna. He currently serves as a Lecturer I in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Nigeria. In 2024, he completed a competitive Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of the Free State, South Africa, within the Department of Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial Sciences. His earlier academic roles at Al-Hikmah University and AROIF College of Advanced Studies reflect his strong contributions to teaching, curriculum development, and student mentorship. Dr. Braimah’s research covers statistical quality control, time-to-event modelling, medical statistics, epidemiology, time series analysis, and probability distributions. He has authored over 70 Scopus-indexed publications in reputable international journals and has collaborated extensively with scholars across Africa, including South Africa and Zimbabwe. His work advances understanding in public health analytics, product reliability, epidemic monitoring, and industrial process optimization. He has also developed multiple new probability distributions and innovative acceptance sampling schemes that support decision-making in quality management and risk assessment. His current project, the National Road Traffic Crash Risk Index (NRTCRi), employs spatial and multiscale statistical modelling to assess and predict road-traffic crash risks across Nigeria, contributing to improved national safety policies. He also holds the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate and is a registered member of the Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria.
