Kehinde Ajadi

I’m Kehinde Ajadi, a Data Analyst and Science Communicator passionate about translating complex datasets and scientific research into accessible insights. With a background in Microbiology (B.Tech, Second Class Upper) and ongoing pursuit of an M.Sc. in Medical Microbiology, I bridge data analytics with life sciences to uncover stories hidden in numbers and lab results. My work includes published research on green-synthesized gold nanoparticles’ biomedical properties (Acta Scientific Microbiology, 2023) and hands-on experience designing dashboards that distill trends in global terrorism or health data. Proficient in tools like Python, R, Power BI, and Tableau, I specialize in transforming raw data into visual narratives that empower decision-making in scientific and public health contexts. Certified in Google Data Analytics and trained in AI applications for research (via workshops like PG Conference 2024), I thrive at the intersection of technology and biology. Whether analyzing microbial data or advising on One Health Genomics, my goal is to make science actionable and engaging for diverse audiences. When not in the lab or behind a screen, I’m exploring how data-driven storytelling can advance scientific literacy and innovation. “Clarity in data, curiosity in science—bridging gaps for a healthier world.”
