I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Firmin Doko Tchatoka. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of econometric modelling, hierarchical forecast reconciliation, and stochastic frontier analysis.Research Focus:Hierarchical Forecast Reconciliation: My thesis delves into the nuanced role of covariance structures in hierarchical forecasting. Through rigorous statistical methods, I aim to advance our understanding of how different covariance structures affect reconciliation processes, with a view to optimizing predictive performance.Stochastic Frontier Analysis: Another cornerstone of my research is focused on stochastic frontier analysis, particularly in developing models to incorporate endogeneity. This allows for more accurate and insightful assessments of production frontiers, efficiency measures, and other key indicators across various economic sectors.Beyond my Ph.D. research, I have a keen interest in applied economics and econometrics, which includes topics such as time-series analysis and health economics.
