DR. JIDE OBUDIYI

Jide Obudivi, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Bowie State University, a Principal Artificial Intelligence Researcher, Systems and Knowledge Engineer with twenty-five (25) plus years of experience in developing large decision support systems using Artificial Intelligence including software agent technology, Computer Simulation, Statistics and Operations Research principles. Dr. Obudivi who joined the faculty of Bowie State University in the Autumn of 2002, earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Kennedy Western University in 1990, and a Ph.D. in Decision Sciences from Walden University in 2003. He holds three (3) degrees from the University of Washington in Seattle – a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1973, a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering (1973); and a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (1975).

Working with different organizations, Dr. Obudivi has developed several practical solutions to the complex strategic/operational/economic problems in diverse areas such as:  intelligent information handling and retrieval, agent-based exception-handling in business processes, speech recognition and synthesis for NASA and private companies. The speech recognition and synthesis project resulted in the development of Direction Finder, a system that accepts speaker independent natural language voice input request and provides directions to a desired destination over the telephone.

Dr. Obudivi has authored numerous materials which have been published in a variety of publications that include;
