Valentina Walters Ning Teboh is a PhD student in Electrical Engineering at Old Dominion University. Her research concentration is in 5G communications. For the past seven months, she has been part of a cybersecurity project aimed at decentralizing the authentication process of users on the 5G network by implementing a self-sovereign identity system. She looks forward to working on 6G for her own research, which she describes as a beautiful marriage of 5G and AI due to her love for Data Science and Machine Learning.

Valentina's curiosity about religious and socio-political matters prompted her to recently start a Medium blog, where she shares her thoughts. She is a lover of the arts, including music, fine arts, and fashion. During her free time, you can find her engaged in one of three activities: singing, writing, reading, or watching movies. She dreams of becoming a writer and educator in the years to come.
