patronized by the figure of Francis Allotey. After his demise, the center has been organizing summer camps to outreach recently graduated students and motivate them about math, those summer camps are currently named as Allotey Math Summer Camp after him . A new program to support female students in STEM has also been launched. Academic programme The center has two main programs. The general course focused on mathematics and its applications, and AMMI (African Masterd of Machine Intelligence) the course focused on Machine learning patronized by Google AI. Moustapha Cisse is the founder and director of AMMI since 2018. The goal of AMMI is to bring the best of AI education in Africa and contribute to building a healthy ecosystem of AI practitioners committed to making a positive impact on our societies. Visiting faculty have included, for the main AIMS Master program: Patrick Dorey (Durham University), Barry Green (Stellenbosch University), Bernd Schroers (Heriot-Watt University), Alessandro Crimi (University of Zurich), Bianca Dittrich (Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics) and others. While AMMI visiting faculty included Olivier Bousquet (Google AI), Hugo Larochelle (Google AI), Yann LeCun (New York University), and others. In both programs each visiting lecturer teaches an intensive three-week-long module. Conducted research Since 2014, AIMS Ghana started conducting research on topics related to applied mathematics and epidemiology. Among the published works, there are the project of Dr. Olivier Menoukeu Pamen (Alexander Humboldt Chair in Ghana) about Stochastic Mortality Modelling for Dependent Coupled Lives, Dr. Alessandro Crimi about epidemiological study on prenatal care, and during the COVID-19 pandemic Esther Opoku Gyasi and Prof. Francis Oduro about cost-effectiveness analysis of COVID-19 data from Ghana.
