PROFILE AND RESEARCH INTERESTS
Atinuke Adebanji is a proactive lecturer and researcher in Statistics and Public Health who holds
a PhD in Statistics and MPH (Reproductive and Public Health), with more than 17 years’
experience in Theoretical and Applied Statistics, Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Her research
interests are Multivariate Data Analysis, Categorical Data Analysis and Development Statistics.
She possesses outstanding communication, classroom management and presentation skills. She
also has proven excellence in the development of strong rapport with students, colleagues, and
administrators. In the course of her career, she has taught and supervised students at
undergraduate and postgraduate levels within and outside Ghana.
A committed faculty member who exhibits expertise in the creation, implementation and
coordination of lifelong learning programs and the personalized development of appropriate

and Coordinator of KNUST-Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (KNUST-
LISA), which is a center that promotes statistical and data science knowledge and applications.
Atinuke is an ardent believer in mentoring students and younger faculty, thus, she is also a
protagonist for females in STEM which has seen her playing a focal role in Women in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, Ghana (WiSTEMGh). Again, she has exceptional
track record of research success with multiple published articles and awards including grants and
other agreements. Atinuke is an inspirational figure to not just her students, but also the people

2A. KNOWLEDGE AND INTELLECTUAL ABILITY NEEDED TO CARRY OUT
EXCELLENT RESEARCH
A1. Knowledge
i. Academic literacy and numeracy
There is a rapid progression in the evolution of data science analytical methods and
data integrity. Statisticians have evolved from managing and analysing small data sets
to managing, analysing and reporting (as statistical consultants) on mega sized
multidimensional data sets in previously unimaginable short computational time. As a
statistical consultant and faculty member in higher education institutions, I have
educated, advised and guided others in appropriate academic literacy and numerate
skills.

ii. Subject knowledge
Statistics is a unique discipline with relevance in all fields of academic and human
endeavours. Policy decisions and evaluation in all hierarchy of decision making (SDGs
to local development strategies) are informed by properly collected, analysed and
synthesized data from which relevant information can be elicited. Unavailability of up-
to-date information plagues several organizations and institutions in developing
countries. As a statistician, I not only posess the requisite qualifications, but also
computational and analytical skills situated in a broad-based interdisciplinary research
experience which has enabled me significantly impact on local and global research and
information seeking. As a result, I have taught twenty-seven (27) courses in statistics
and served on many international and local academic decision making bodies.

iii. Research methods
Statistical research methods are amenable to very varied contexts. I have demonstrated
this through collaborative research and serving as resource person to scientists from
diverse backgrounds. I have taught statistics on ten (10) postgraduate programmes in
four (4) Departments and three (3) Colleges in the university.
iv. Information Seeking
In the course of my academic career, I have educated several researchers in statistical
techniques for information/data seeking by supporting the setting up of undergraduate
and postgraduate programmes in Statistics, serving as resource person for statistical
training workshops, and as the originator and Coordinator of KNUST Laboratory for
Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (KNUST-LISA).
KNUST-LISA (established in collaboration with University of Colorado Boulder,
USA) has the mandate to present statistics to KNUST community as a ‘ living
science’. To achieve this, the laboratory will amongst other things:
1. Train postgraduate students that require data analytical skills in statistical
computing and consulting along with Data science.
2. Effectively collaborate with researchers or other domain experts from their
Departments and Faculties or institutions to improve the quality of research
and statistical finding.

A2. Cognitive abilities
I have the innate ability to perform various mental activities simultaneously as result
of my gender and self-discipline in managing home career, extended family and other
7relevant activities that require my attention. In this context however, I refer to my
ability for critical thinking and synthesis in matters most closely associated with
learning and problem solving.
A3. Creativity
I have demonstrated creative ability to undertake effective theses supervision, secure
fellowships and written proposals that have attracted funding. This has been for
personal research and support for others to secure funding.
i. Intellectual Insight
My ability for intellectual insight affords me the opportunity to not only think outside
the box when seeking solutions to challenges, but to also undergo self-reflection as a
result of better self-knowledge.
ii. Innovation
Teaching and research can be more effective through the use of non-traditional
methods. This is key to ensuring the continued relevance of institutions of higher
education given the rapidly changing dynamics of reduced funding, bloating class sizes
and staff/students ratios. Some of the methods I have adopted are rewarding students’
participation during classes, regular intergroup class competition, use of videos to
simulate real-life scenarios and Prized Mathematics problems introduced in the
Department of Mathematics and more recently, Department of Statistics and Actuarial
Science.
iii. Argument Construction
I educate, advice and guide others in argument construction for effective
communication and dissemination of research findings.
B. PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
B1. Personal Qualities
i. Enthusiasm
My enthusiasm has transcended into my being a source of inspiration to communities
of local and International students and researchers within and outside the University
Community.

ii. Persevearance
I started my academic career at age 34, much later than my contemporarries. There is
an 11years gap between my BSc and my MSc degree. This required a great deal of
perseverance and a tenacious determination to excel in my career which I had come
into from an academic hiatus. This personal quality has enabled me make steady
progress in my career while attending to my other duties.
iii. Integrity
I understand and demonstrate standards of good research practice in my research area
and the University. This has helped me function effectively as an academic in higher
institution and on several academic bodies. This also informs my ability to shape
9policies and procedures of good practise in research in my Department, College and
professional associations.

iv. Responsiveness to change
Change is one of the events that human nature resists. I have been able to cope with
changes in my career, affiliated institution and worked in different countries (Nigeria-
11Kenya-Ghana-Spain-Ghana). This has helped improve my perspective in life and made
me a more accommodating person.
v. Work-Life Management
The task of raising a young family and simultaneously building a career away from
one’s home country comes with its peculiar challenges. I have successfully managed
both facets of my life without major complications.

in 2018 as the College of Science Representative.
ii. People Management
As the Head, Department of Mathematics, I manage 36 male academic staff, 3
adminisstrative staff, 6 graduate assistants, 51 national service persons and over 2,700
students. In addition to this, I served as the Vice Dean Faculty of Physical and
Computational Science, acting as Dean in the absence of the substantive. I now serve
as the pioneer Head, Department of Statistics & Actuarial Science wi th a staff strength
of 17 academic and 3 admijnistrative staff, 17 National Service students and almost
1,800 students.
iii. Supervision of students‘ projects /Theses
Research is one of the most important medium of knowledge acquisition, transference
and developing intellectual competence with the ultimate output in scientific
knowledge for societal development. In my academic career since 2002, I have
supervised over 70 undergraduate projects in Mathematics and Statistics, 9
Postgraduate Diplomas in Statistics (PGDS) Projects, 59 MPhil /MSc/ MBA Theses
(Supervisor/Internal examiner), 3 completed PhD supervision (Major supervisor), 4
Submitted (Major Supervisor), 4 work in progress PhD supervision (Major supervisor).
