Dr Angela Tabiri is the first African to win The Big Internet Math Off competition.

The 35-year-old hopes her 2024 win will open up the world of mathematics to other African women.

Her passion is quantum algebra, which she researches at the Ghana branch of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (Aims).

Researchers and big tech companies from across the world are racing to develop quantum technologies.

Dr Tabiri hopes to organise a "quantum road show" as a first step in introducing schoolchildren to quantum science.

Africa 's fast-growing population, already the youngest in the world, will be the world's largest workforce by 2040 .
