Biography
Eastern Florida State College - Mathematics
Program Manager at Microsoft
Higher Education
Kenneth
Iwezulu, Ph.D.
Redmond, Washington
As a program manger, a seasoned graduate of Operations Research and Mathematics, I am highly proactive with a critical and thorough thought process. I manage output using detailed metrics which enables scaling meet the demands of every user in the cloud space.
I continually broaden my knowledge of carrying out a good research, applying useful statistical tools in formulating models for risk analysis and mathematical model which resolves critical path, quality planning and real world problems. I use the models formulated and various technological resources available to analyze, optimize and interpret collected data so as to enhance a well informed management decision and policy formulation amongst other managerial functions.
I want to make my skills/services which can be useful for any institution, available for rapid growth and development and at advisory or in any other capacity deemed fit for its success.

Kenneth worked at Microsoft as a Program Manager
Brevard Community College
Adjunct Instructor
• An educator who communicates effectively to every student to achieve success.
• Teach the following courses: Precalculus Algebra, College Trigonometry, Intermediate Algebra and College Algebra...Eastern Florida State College
Assistant Professor
• Faculty Mentor: I worked with one of the newly hired faculty within the department to ensure that he had the desired impact on student learning, enhance his growth and development as a new instructor who did not have the benefit of "apprenticeship". I typically met with my mentee every other week (or as the need arose) to discuss his progress and challenge(s) and offered advise in a non-judgmental manner to improve his class management skills. I helped him to adapt to both the norms of the department and the college.
• STEM club advisor: I sponsored/initiated the STEM club on the Palm Bay campus, mentor students in STEM related fields, offered advice to students relating to career path in the STEM areas and carry out workshops.
• Phi Theta Kappa Advisor: As a Honors Society, I worked with students who had a GPA of 3.5 and above. I worked with them in building and developing leadership skills which are essential for the real world through the variety of programs I planned executed with them.
• Advisor Peer Tutors: As one of the advisor for the peer tutoring program, I helped in equipping peer tutors with all the basic skills of tutoring so that they can become better students for themselves and in turn help their peers succeed.
• Some of the courses I taught are: Calculus III, Calculus II, Calculus I, Mathematics for Liberal Arts, Essentials of Calculus, Precalculus, College Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and Modularized and Developmental math courses.
• I motivated students and taught some basic and strategic skills to achieve success.Embraer
Intern
• With the use of the fish-bone diagram and the 5 Why's, I carried out root cause analysis for aircraft related non-conformance. I came up with a valuable and sustainable solution that was implemented.
• Worked with a team of 3 to improve processes in the facility through the efficient use of 5S.
• Created flow charts/diagram for the paint booth in the facility for optimal output.
• Built a huge excel web sheet for data analysis.

Discrete versus Continuous Operational Calculus in Antagonistic Stochastic Games.
São Paulo Journal of Mathematical Sciences
We consider a class of antagonistic stochastic games in real time between two players A and B, formalized by two marked point processes. The players attack each other at random times with random impacts. Either player can sustain casualties up to a fixed threshold. A player is defeated when its underlying threshold is crossed. Upon that time (referred to as the first passage time), the game is over. We introduce a joint functional of the first passage time, along with the status of each player upon this time. The latter are the cumulative magnitudes of casualties to each player upon the end of the game, obtained in an analytically tractable form. We then use discrete and continuous operational calculus for the transform inversion. We demonstrate in a special case that the discrete operational calculus is more efficient, allowing us to avoid numerical inversion. It leads to explicit formulas for the joint distribution of associated random variables (first passage time and the status of cumulative casualties to the players upon the end of the game).

Discrete Operational Calculus in Delayed Stochastic Games
Neural, Parallel and Scientific Computations
This article deals with classes of antagonistic games with two players. A game is specified in terms of two “hostile” stochastic processes representing mutual attacks upon random times that exert casualties of random magnitudes. The game ends when one of the players is defeated, that is, when the amounts of casualties to the players cross respective tolerance thresholds. We target the first passage time τρ of the defeat and the amount of casualties to either player upon τρ. Here we validate our claim of analytic tractability in formulas obtained in [1] under various transforms. The game has applications in Cancer Treatment, Global Military Warfare , Global Economic Warfare, Corporate Economic Hostilities.
