About

I have been working in the Department of Chemical Engineering, KNUST since November, 2016. I have gained indepth knowlege in catalysis and petrochemistry from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I am a highly motivated and driven individual who is interested in waste recycling and valorisation, biofuels and biomaterials, catalyst and its application in different areas.

Research Summary
