I’m Samuel Akanni. I bring mathematical thinking and analytical rigour to research that helps people make better decisions.

01 / THE PERSPECTIVE
My work sits where mathematics, data and practical questions meet.
From modelling infectious disease to supporting collaborative research, I use analytical methods to investigate patterns, test ideas and communicate findings clearly.
At One Light Analytics, I lead research and analytics. My background combines applied mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, research support and teaching.
