24-year-old
Nemitari from Rivers State, an upwardly mobile computer scientist, last month
(November 2017) became the youngest lecturer at the Edge Hill University,
United Kingdom. He says the journey has only just begun.
NIGERIA is definitely not in short supply of young
men and women who have set their sights on achieving great things and putting
the name of the country on the global map for positive news.
Nemitari Miebaka Ajienka is only 24 years old, but he
not only now has a Ph.D tucked under his armpit; he has become the youngest
lecturer at the Edge Hill University, Ormskirk, Lancashire, United Kingdom –
and he is currently enjoying the limelight he so deserves.
In excitement, on November 20, he announced his own
resumption as the youngest lecturer at Edge Hill on Twitter:
‘’Immensely Grateful. BSc & MSc distinctions
& Ph.D. A new journey now begins at 24; youngest lecturer at Edge Hill
University, UK. #Ph.D #brunel #MDX #Bham #nigeria #proudlynigerian
#PortHarcourt’’.
Born in Okrika, Rivers State, in 1992, Nemitari is
the second child of the seventh vice chancellor of the University of Port
Harcourt, Professor Joseph Atubokiki Ajienka and Mercy Ajienka.
From September 2010 to July 2013, he attended the
Middles3x University, United Kingdom, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science
(BSc.) with First Class honours in Information Technology and Business
Information Systems.
From September 2013 to August 2014, he was at the
University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, where he obtained a Master of Science
(MSc.), with distinction, in Computer Science.
In September 2014, Nemitari became a graduate
teaching assistant (undergraduate) Software Engineering module in the
Department of Computer Science, Brunel University, London and now, with a Ph.D,
last month resumed as a lecturer in Computer Science at the Edge Hill
University.
He majors in Software Engineering, Theory of
Computation and Programming Languages. He is an SAS programmer, SAP associate
(SAP SE is a German multinational software corporation, headquartered in
Walldorf, Baden- Wurttemberg. It makes software to manage business operations
and customer relations), certified SAS Base 9 programmer, and a Blockchain
consultant.
Nemitari’s works focus on object-oriented software
engineering, and his interests include machine learning, big data, Blockchain
and business intelligence, open-source software development and reuse, software
architecture, software evolution, dependencies and maintenance.
In his Twitter post, he appreciated the efforts of
one of his lecturers, Dr. Andrea Capiluppi, for his support and Ph.D.
supervision.
Prior to joining the department, he had worked in the
software industry as a Blockchain/distributed ledger developer and developer on
a funded research project at Brunel University, London, where he completed his
Ph.D.
His Ph.D thesis has the title ‘An Empirical Study on
Object-oriented Software Dependencies: Logical, Structural and Semantic’.
At the Edge Hill University, Mr Ajienka teaches on
the OOP (Object Oriented Programming) module and supports a range of modules
across the institution’s Department of Computer Science.
A member of the data analytics research group,
Ajienka’s research interests include data-driven object-oriented software
engineering, including software maintenance, quality, change impact analysis
and refactoring.
He was said to have in the past, focused on the
interplay between object-oriented software dependencies (structural, logical
and semantic dependencies) for reduced maintenance and impact analysis efforts.
His MSc Thesis (2014) at the University of
Birmingham’s School of Computer Science was ‘An Application of Game Theory in
the Resolution of Stakeholders Requirements Conflicts in the Context of
Software Development Projects; while his Ph.D Thesis (2017) at the Department
of Computer Science, Brunel University London, was ‘An Empirical Study on
Object-oriented Software Dependencies: Logical, Structural and Semantic.
He speaks English, French, and German and is a member
of the British Computing Society.
