Summary
A Physicist with ten (10) years of experience in teaching and laboratory training as applied physics student and as a Teacher. I currently work as a teacher at Wenchi Methodist Senior High School, where I mentor, teach, and supervise students both in class rooms and laboratory works. I have acquired skillsets such as the ability to utilize reference and statistical tools such as EpiData and SPSS as a result of my education. I also know how to use Microsoft Office (MS Word, MS PowerPoint, and MS Excel) as well as computational program such as Mat lab, python, java and C++. I have Post Graduate Diploma in Education at Catholic University college of Ghana and BSc applied Physics at University for Development Studies. A clear manifestation of my genuine interest are my continuously increasing GPA and my consistent good performance in courses such as computational physics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, group theory , solid state physics , material science and electromagnetic field theory. I obtained second class upper with a GPA of3.97.
