My full CV

Research Areas/Interests

My research interest is, primarily, in geo-material characterization and engineering. Characterization modes include geochemical, mineralogical, petrologic, rheological, unsaturated soil mechanics and basic geotechnical principles and/or techniques. Other interests include environmental geology and earth resources. Specifically, my work has included:

 

  1. Geochemical trends, characterization and industrial applications including genesis of bauxite and its associated lithomargic clays.
  2. Clay pozzolana utilization research
  3. Characterization and stabilization of soils, including, mine waste and its environmental impact.
  4. Small-scale gold mining operations in Ghana: policies, practices, impacts and post-mining rehabilitation.
  5. Environmental concerns of bauxite tailings disposal
  6. Alluvial gold exploration and its implication for evaluation.
  7. Susceptibility of Ghanaian granitic aggregates to alkali-silica reactivity in Portland cement concrete
