Olabode Ogundele

I was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. I also had my undergraduate education in Nigeria. The Informatics PhD journey has been a huge learning curve, and the unlimited opportunities are inspiring. There are more fun things than studying and researching. Beyond my academic pursuits, I am an ardent supporter of Arsenal Football Club of England. I am either cheering my team or playing a soccer match myself. I enjoy hiking and the compelling narratives and dramatic landscapes of Western movies.

I grew up on a pig farm in southern Illinois, where we used data to inform breeding decisions. That inspired me to get a B.S. and M.S. in Animal Sciences. Now, I use sensor data to inform farm mangers when mortality episodes will occur, then, they can make better decisions on when to intervene with additional antibiotics.
