The graduate researcher at Austin Peay State University, Tennessee, United States of America(USA) is making waves with his innovative work on leveraging AI, ML, and 5G technology to proactively detect and manage devastating wildfires.

The devastating impact of wildfires on afforestation, ecosystems, and the green economy is undeniable. However, with Okoro’s innovative technological solutions, we now have the means to effectively mitigate these effects.

His research, titled ‘A Synergistic Approach to Wildfire Prevention and Management Using AI, ML, and 5G Technology,’ proposes novel methods to save lives and prevent the immense economic losses caused by wildfires that have become a national crisis.
‘Despite improvements in detection techniques, the rising occurrence of wildfires demands creative technological solutions for prompt identification and effective control,’ stated Okoro.

Education And Work Life
The younger generation can learn from the painstaking and vision-laden effort of this Nigerian, who is celebrated beyond the shores of his homeland having gotten his first degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) in Imo State, Nigeri.
He also obtained two Masters’ Degrees in Global Business Management, MBA from the United States International University – Africa, Nairobi Kenya, and another in Computer Science from Austin Pray State University, Clarksville Tennessee, USA.

Okoro’s study investigates utilizing AI-enabled remote sensing, 5G-based active monitoring, and super-intelligent drones and IoT devices for advanced wildfire response mechanisms. The findings showcase how developing these new technologies presents an opportunity for fire management agencies to detect and handle wildfires proactively.

“Utilising advanced tech like AI, Machine learning and 5G could revolutionise wildfire prevention and mitigation. My research provides a roadmap for fire agencies to adopt these innovations,” he said.
Okoro’s impressive background showcases his expertise in bringing emerging technologies to complex challenges. He is leveraging over 15 years of experience in technical solutions, software development, product management, and data analytics roles at leading tech companies like Nokia and Alcatel-lucent.

“I was motivated to lead the research and pioneer deployment in 5G in Africa because of the increasing demand for data, with smartphones and IOT devices, emerging technologies like smart health and industrial automation, and the need to improve telecoms network capacity and efficiency. As a Technical Solutions Lead at Nokia Networks, I led the research and deployment of 5G networks across Middle East and Africa”, says Okoro.

Stanley Okoro has consistently demonstrated a proactive approach to driving innovation within the ICT Industry.

During his tenure at Alcatel-lucent in 2011, he played a pivotal role in overseeing the implementation of the Glo-1 optical fiber network landing station, a collaborative effort with Globacom and Alcatel Submarine Network (ASN).

This significant project brought about transformative changes to Africa’s economic landscape by ushering in high-speed internet services, thereby enhancing the reliability and affordability of telecommunications for consumers.

Recently, as a Technical Solutions Lead at Nokia, Stanley , spearheaded the deployment of 5G networks across the Middle East and Africa. This initiative has substantially improved access to dependable, high-speed internet connectivity and has facilitated the widespread application of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the region.

Furthermore, his MBA research project delved into the challenges hindering the adoption of advanced technology in Africa, proposing innovative strategies to address these barriers effectively. As a result of such forward-thinking efforts, 5G technology has now been successfully implemented across all African countries.

This achievement underscores the invaluable contributions of visionary leaders and advocates for innovation like Stanley in driving technological advancement and connectivity across the continent.

Other projects by Stanley include: developing artificial neural networks (ANN) for disease detection, climate simulation models using support vector machines, password security using reverse Markov chains, and implementing business intelligence tools.

The Austin Peay State University professor Dr. Raman Sahi, who supervised Okoro’s research, praised his work saying, “Stanley’s innovative and multi-disciplinary approach to tackling the wildfire crisis is exactly the kind of bold thinking we need from the next generation of technology leaders.”
