Chibuzor Okocha

Hi there, I am Chibuzor Okocha, a PhD student in Engineering Education with a minor in Computer Science at the University of Florida. I am a member of the UF DataStudio lab, where my research focuses on the intersection of Speech and Audio AI, reasoning in Audio Language Models, and developing robust systems for accented and multilingual speech processing.

My work aims to enhance the understanding of how both learners and educators interact with speech technologies in educational contexts. I am passionate about creating inclusive AI systems that work across multiple languages and cultures, particularly focusing on underrepresented accents and dialects.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida. Before pursuing my doctoral studies, I gained valuable experience developing practical technology solutions, which now informs my research approach to bridge technology and education to improve learning outcomes.
