Biography

Dr. Boubakari Ibrahimou graduated from the University of South Florida with doctoral degrees in mathematics and biostatistics. He is an assistant professor of biostatistics in the Robert Stempel College of Public Health and Social Work and is also the deputy director of the Integrated Biostatistics and Data Management Center, where he collaborates and consults with clinicians, public health professionals, scientists, engineers and social science researchers.

He teaches several courses and his research interests include: correlated data analysis, modeling and health impact of air pollutant and chemical agents, statistical modeling of biological systems, nonlinear analysis, maternal and child health and survival analysis.

Lab

The mission of the Integrated Biostatistics and Data Management Center (IBDMC) is to enhance FIU’s research endeavors by providing infrastructure support relevant to biostatistics, data management and data quality enhancement. It supports investigators and graduate students for proposal preparation, study design, data collection, data management, statistical analyses, study operations, report and manuscript preparation and data archival, going beyond the typical Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) sponsored biostatistics cores at other universities.

Education
