Dr. Ken Ehimwenma, Department of Computer Science.

Ph.D. Computer Science; M.A. Information Communication Technology & Education; B.Sc.Ed.(Hon) Computer Science; N.C.E. Physics & Chemistry.

Dr Ehimwenma completed his Ph.D. at the Sheffield Hallam University United Kingdom with specialization in multi-agent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and computational logic. This combined area of research he has extensively used in the development of pre-assessment theory of students’ prior learning and recommendation of learning materials for students in a “skills classification” paradigm. Dr Ehimwenma has a number of publications in many refereed journals and conference proceedings, and he is a member of several Program Technical Committees and a Peer Reviewer to many conference events. Dr Ehimwenma lives with his family in England and work at the Kean University (Wenzhou Campus). Dr Ehimwenma likes indoor exercise, outdoor walking, and listening to classical music. His desire is to become a good player of the piano.
