Profile

Arthur has vast experience and qualifications in Materials Science and Engineering. He obtained his master’s and a doctoral degree from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, African University of Technology, Abuja, Nigeria. He had his PhD exchange programme at the School of Matter, Transport and Energy, Arizona State University, USA. He has a BSc. degree in Materials Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana. He has been instructing and researching in the University environment since 2011. Arthur has had research experiences at Hysitron Inc. and Worchester Polytechnic Institute in the USA.

His research interests span through mechanical metallurgy, novel surface hardening techniques and advanced characterization of metals, ceramics and composite materials. He is an expert in surface engineering and prevention, such as diffusion-hardened ferrous materials for infrastructural applications. His current research activities focus primarily on the deformation of various metals and alloys, materials selection, earth-based reinforced composite, advanced nano-/micro-mechanical response of materials and environmental remediation. Arthur has worked with numerous international and reputable local scholars in the field of metallurgy, mechanical, chemical and materials engineering. He has hand on desk of interpretation on the use of advanced modern edge equipment for chemistry and physics of materials.

He has over 35 publications/conference proceedings in accredited peer-reviewed journals with strong impact factors, wide readership and citations. He is an outstanding researcher which has harvested research grants both locally and internationally. The latest (2020) is the Thirty Thousand Ghana Cedis (¢30,000.00) grant from KNUST Research Fund (KReF) for doing research on ‘’Spatial Patterns of Hazardous Cyanide in Soils and Groundwater in a Cassava Processing Area in Ghana’’. Also, in 2021 he was awarded KReF grant of Forty-Five Thousand Ghana Cedis (¢45,000.00) to do research on ‘’Utilization of Spent Pot Lining as a Porous Electrode Material for Supercapacitor Applications’’. In 2016, he was also awarded 1.4-million-naira (~ ¢13,000.00) Grant from the Nigerian Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) for doing research on ‘’Design and Evaluation of Bamboo-Epoxy Composite as an Alternative Roofing Material’’. 

Arthur has served in the University community in different forms as Departmental Vacation Training Officer, Departmental Field Trip Coordinator, Departmental Laboratory Manager, and Departmental Seminar and Undergraduate Project Coordinator. Other positions include College of Engineering Internship Committee Chairman, College of Engineering Industrial Liaison Officer and Internship Coordinator. Currently, he is also serving as the Senior Tutor for Private Hostels in Bomso-Ahinsan Constituency. He has also served under many committees both in the University and outside the University environment.
