Hello, a bit about me:

I hail from the eastern region of Ghana, West Africa. I had my secondary school education at the Ofori Panin Senior High School, Akim Tafo, Ghana. Since then, my academic trajectory has mainly been in Atmospheric and Climate Science. I have a B.Sc in Meteorology and Climate Science and a M.Sc in Climate Change and Energy. I also hold PhDs from the Université Grenoble Alpes, France (in Atmosphere, Ocean and Hydrology) and the Université Félix Houphouet Boigny, Cote d'Ivoire (in Energy, Tropical Climate and Environment).

​​

Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Geological and Atmospheric Sciences of Iowa State University (https://faculty.sites.iastate.edu/cmp28/people). My research work includes using high-resolution models to study the causality between tropical disturbances and tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic region. I also work on understanding potential changes in future tropical cyclone activity using coupled atmosphere-ocean models. My two favorite models to use are the Weather Research & Forecasting (WRF) model and Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS).​

​

My previous research focus has been on the climate variability in the tropics, specifically in Western Africa. I enjoy using large volumes of different datasets to study clouds’ occurrence, evolution, and associated driving mechanisms. I also work on the link between the clouds’ occurrence/persistence and the incoming solar energy - using this to establish strategies for solar energy development and management. My work encompasses both the present climate regimes and potential future scenarios.

​

​Outside research and academic life, I enjoy traveling and visiting new cities. I have been to 5 different continents; my favorite cities are Sao Paulo (Brazil), Chamonix Mont Blanc (France), San Francisco (USA) and Tlemcen (Algeria). I also enjoy taking photos of nature. I also like to write in my free time and I play video games.
