Education
Glory’s PhD thesis is in Applied Mathematics. She holds an MSc in Applied Mathematics from the University of Embu in Kenya. A Teaching Assistant at the University of Embu, she is currently in her second year of PhD studies at the same institution and is expected to complete her doctorate in 2027.
Research Summary
Glory’s research explores the dynamics of Helicobacter pylori infection in gastric ulcers and gastric cancer, focusing on control strategies like screening, treatment, and family-based management. Current mathematical models lack a comprehensive approach to understanding the progression from infection to ulcers and cancer. This study uses deterministic models to examine disease transmission and the impact of control measures. The findings aim to guide healthcare policies and interventions, particularly in resource-limited settings, and contribute to global health goals by reducing gastric cancer incidence and improving public health strategies.
