I joined the Department of Mathematics at UL Lafayette as a Full Time Instructor in August 2025. I received my PhD here at UL Lafayette under Dr. Leonel Robert Gonzalez in the area of Operator Theory and C*-Algebras. My thesis was titled "Banach Lie Groups of C*-Algebras".
Before coming to UL Lafayette as a student, I obtained Bachelor and Master of Science degrees from the University of Buea, Cameroon. My master's thesis was in Harmonic Analysis and was titled "Lp-Boundedness of the Bergman Projection over the Vinberg Cone" under Dr. Nana Cyrille.
My research interest include C*-algebras and Operator Theory, Majorizarion.
