About Me
Benjamin Mensah Dadzie
PhD Candidate · University of Silesia in Katowice
I am a PhD researcher in Computer Science at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, supervised by Prof. dr hab Piotr Porwik. My research focuses on concept drift detection, non-stationary data streams, and the design of detectors, classifiers, and statistical metrics for adaptive machine learning systems. I also do sports analytics across Football, American Football, Basketball, and Volleyball.
I hold dual Master's degrees from the University of Silesia (Poland) and the University of L'Aquila (Italy) and a BSc from the University of Mines and Technology (Ghana), all supported by competitive full-funding scholarships. My work bridges statistical theory, time series analysis, and practical data science.
Beyond research, I teach Mathematics at the English International School in Bratislava and serve as a Graduate Lab Assistant at the University of Silesia.
