Empowering academic excellence through teaching and research: With over 10 years of experience, driving innovation in Geographical Information Science, Remote Sensing, and Artificial Intelligence to tackle environmental challenges. A dedicated mentor and researcher committed to advancing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and making a lasting impact in education and beyond.
Asma’u M. Ahmed is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography and Sustainability Studies at Kaduna State University. She holds a B.Sc. in Geography from Bayero University Kano, Nigeria (2009), an M.Sc. in Geospatial Information Science from the University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom (2011), and a Ph.D. in Remote Sensing from Kingston University London, United Kingdom (2019).
Her doctoral research focused on developing machine learning algorithms for hydrocarbon quantification, with a thesis titled “Hydrocarbon Quantification Using Neural Networks and Deep Learning-Based Hyperspectral Unmixing.” She structured a deep learning model for detecting and quantifying petroleum hydrocarbon spills using Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) sensor data and advanced programming techniques.
Her research interests include hyperspectral unmixing, pattern recognition, and the application of artificial neural networks and deep learning to remotely sensed data. Dr. Ahmed is committed to advancing geospatial science and fostering innovative research in environmental monitoring and sustainability.
