EVANS SACKITEY

Dedicated materials engineer with a comprehensive academic background in materials science and engineering, highlighted by successful research projects in the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells using graphene oxide and the integration of materials into environmental monitoring systems. My commitment to advancing sustainable technologies is evident in my interdisciplinary approach, demonstrated by the construction of a radio-controlled aircraft for measuring atmospheric CO2 levels. Seeking admission to a Ph.D program in materials Engineering, I aspire to contribute to a cutting-edge research, bridging the gap between materials science and real-world applications.

• Ashesi University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Berekuso, Ghana, Research Intern, 05/2019 - 09/2019, I was supervised by Dr. Heather Beem in her original research on using locally available materials (cardboard) to construct a radio-controlled aircraft, I single handedly built three prototypes of radio-controlled aircraft mounted with an arduino to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at the Berekuso region of Ghana, I programmed, configured and mounted the arduino on the radio-controlled aircraft for the collection of data
• Envaserv Research Consult, Sowutuom, Ghana, Research intern, 05/2017 - 08/2017, I assisted the lab technicians and postdoctoral researchers in measuring heavy metal levels in water samples, I reviewed analytical results of samples to assure quality control (detection limits, accuracy and precision)

Apart from swimming being fun for me it is also an important surviving skill.
