Personal Information
🇬🇭 I am a Ghanaian Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate from the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR).
I am an incoming Master of Science in Electrical Engineering student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). I am honoured to have been awarded a Graduate Assistantship in the Department of Electrical Engineering, where I will work under Prof. Abdul Ofoli.
With over four years as Teaching and Research Assistant at UENR, I supported undergraduate labs, MATLAB/Simulink simulations, and research projects. I also completed an internship at Naasei Electricals.
I am deeply grateful to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Elvis Asare Bediako, and my supervisor, Dr. Samuel Tweneboah-Koduah, for their trust and support — including a generous $20,000 scholarship over two years that has enabled me to pursue this international opportunity. This award comes with the clear expectation that I will return to contribute to UENR and Ghana’s development in energy and electrical engineering.
Upon completion of my studies, I aspire to continue as a lecturer at UENR, where I look forward to mentoring the next generation of engineers. Passionate about leadership, I served as Member of Parliament in the UENR SRC and as National Delegate for the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS).
As a patriotic citizen, I have volunteered with the Electoral Commission of Ghana since 2016, campaigning for peaceful elections and educating voters on their civic rights.
A savvy engineer and firm advocate for technology, committed to policy development for an advanced world.
I am a strong Christian and an honest man. I believe in consistency and determination.
Fluent in English and Twi, with a fair command of French.
