An academic at Redeemer’s University, Dr. Roseline Ogundokun, has achieved another major academic milestone after earning a second Doctor of Philosophy degree from Kaunas University of Technology.
Dr. Ogundokun was awarded a PhD in Technological Sciences (Informatics Engineering) from the Department of Software Engineering at the Lithuanian institution, strengthening her academic profile in advanced computing and artificial intelligence research.
Her doctoral research, titled “Posture tracking methods on occluded video material,” focused on developing robust systems for tracking human posture in partially obstructed video environments. The study has wide applications in healthcare monitoring, assisted living systems, workplace ergonomics, and intelligent surveillance technologies.
The Vice-Chancellor of Redeemer’s University, Prof. Shadrach Olufemi Akindele, congratulated Dr. Ogundokun, describing her achievement as a reflection of the institution’s strong academic culture and commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.
He noted that her accomplishment reinforces the university’s reputation for producing globally competitive scholars contributing to cutting-edge research.
In a LinkedIn post, Dr. Ogundokun acknowledged the role of her home institution in her academic journey, expressing appreciation to the university management, including the Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, Dean of the Faculty of Computing and Data Technology, Head of Department, and colleagues for their consistent support and encouragement.
Beyond her latest doctorate, Dr. Ogundokun has also earned international recognition, being listed among the World’s Top 2% Scientists for 2023–2025. Her academic output includes over 4,000 Google Scholar citations, an h-index of 34, and an i10-index of 103, reflecting her growing influence in global research circles.
The development further highlights the increasing visibility of Nigerian academics in international research and innovation ecosystems, particularly in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and computer vision.
