Dr. Okaka Colleta Akinyi.
Dr Colleta Akinyi Okaka Holds a doctorate degree in Applied Mathematics specializing in Biomathematics. Her areas of research interest are in mathematical modelling of the dynamics of infectious diseases. Her major contribution has been her research on the dynamics of misdiagnosis and treatment of other common infectious diseases as malaria, which helped in creating awareness on proper and intensive diagnosis of infectious diseases that initially present with similar symptoms. She is also a holder of post-graduate diploma (project planning and management) and also trained in leadership. She has greatly contributed towards promotion of both primary and secondary education in the local communities with emphasis on girl child education.
She is currently a senior lecturer at the university engaging in lecturing and, supervision of students and research work. She was the departmental school of graduate studies chairperson from June 2014 to January 2022, overseeing and coordinating post-graduate student’s progression in their research, thesis writing and publications. She also gives introductory lectures and group research to final year under graduate students who also publish their work. She acted as a chairlady of the department of a staff of 22 (technical and support) running administrative and technical duties.
