Jovita T. Nsoh, Ph.D.
I work at the intersection of industry-scale systems and academic research, advancing identity-first security for AI systems and critical infrastructure.
My work is grounded in Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) and follows an applied sciences model, similar to the German Fachhochschule tradition, where research is realized through artifacts—architectures, models, and systems that address real operational problems.
Drawing on more than two decades of experience securing production environments across cloud, finance, energy, and the public sector, I focus on designing, building, and evaluating deployable security artifacts that operate under real-world constraints.
- Developing JEPA-ΔVec framework for adaptive AI security architectures
- Leading IAM integration research for operational technology environments
- Building the African IT Professional (AfITPro) leadership ecosystem
Research Pillars
Each research pillar follows the DSRM cycle: identifying real-world problems, designing and building security artifacts, evaluating them in operational contexts, and communicating results.
Artifacts:
DSRM: Design → Evaluate → Deploy
Artifacts:
DSRM: Problem → Build → Test
Artifacts:
DSRM: Evaluate → Iterate → Communicate
Design Science Research Methodology
Every artifact follows a rigorous lifecycle: from problem identification through design, build, demonstration, evaluation, and communication.
