Major/Degree :: Analytical Chemistry, 2015 Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi

 

BSc. : Chemistry, 2012 Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi.

 

Status: Completed - June 2022

 

 

I had both my undergraduate and post graduate degrees from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and also hold a postgraduate diploma certificate in Education from University of Education, Winneba.

 

My research interest has been on environment and environmental pollution, which affects man and the ecosystem so as to help in their identification and ways of solving them.  I enjoy sharing knowledge acquired and also to learn more of the happenings around the world.

 

I am currently working as a Chemistry tutor and hope to become a Lecturer someday as well as an Environmental consultant. Being a PhD research fellow in this SHEATHE project would help me realise this dream. My hobbies include singing and listening to music.
