About
Taiwo A. Togun
I am an educator, researcher and founder working across computer science education, AI research and learning systems.
I came to this from computational biology, where what I liked most was working across disciplines with people who knew things I didn't. That has not really changed.
Teaching, research and building are, honestly, my own way of getting to keep learning. Each one puts me in a room with experts who know things I don't and with students who think in ways I wouldn't.
