About Me

Hello, I'm Dr. Dirichukwu Goodluck Oguzie

PhD, MSc, BSc • Computer Science

I'm an AI Researcher and Lecturer specializing in reinforcement learning, machine learning, social robotics, and neural network architectures.

I develop intelligent systems that integrate reinforcement learning, computer vision, machine learning, and predictive models to solve real-world problems. My research has been published at top conferences including UKCI 2023 and IEEE PRML 2024.

With 13+ years of programming and teaching experience, I combine academic rigor with practical instruction to inspire the next generation of computer scientists and AI researchers.

My Story

My journey in AI and robotics began with a passion for understanding how intelligent systems can solve real-world problems. Starting from Electrical and Electronics Engineering, I transitioned to Robotics and Automation, eventually focusing on reinforcement learning and social robot navigation during my PhD at Aston University.

What drives me is the intersection of research and teaching—developing novel algorithms while sharing knowledge with students. My research on Cosine-Gated LSTM and Predictive World Models emerged from the need to create more efficient and socially-aware navigation systems. I believe in making AI accessible, practical, and beneficial for society.

Outside of research, I enjoy exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, and mentoring students. I'm always open to collaborations that advance the field of AI and robotics.
