I am a dedicated Academic and Research Scientist in the Department of Meteorology and Climate Science at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana. I hold a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Physics, a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Geophysics, and a Doctorate (PhD) in Meteorology and Climate Science from the University of Cologne, Germany.

 My academic background encompasses a wide range of expertise in Physics, Geophysics, Meteorology and Climate Science. Within this wide range of expertise, I have specialized knowledge in Biometeorology, Bioclimatology/Biostatistics and climate change and variability impacts. I have strong skills in data science with focus on advanced computing, data analysis/statistics, visualization, cleansing and mining. I utilize programming languages such as FORTRAN, PYTHON, R, and Shell Scripting for computing. I also use tools such as Climate Data Operators (CDO), NetCDF Operators (NCO), Generic Mapping Tools (GMT), and Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) for manipulating climate and environmental data. I have strong experience working with Linux-based systems including Ubuntu and Mint, and Latex for scientific writing.

 My current research is primarily focused on the intersection of climate change and variability and human health and well-being, with an emphasis on the following areas:

1. Vector-borne Infectious Diseases: I investigate the impacts of climate change and variability on the transmission dynamics of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and chikungunya as well as other emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

2. Heat-related Health Risks: My work explores the health risks associated with extreme heat, including heat stress, stroke, exhaustion, and the mental health challenges that arise from prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

3. Air Quality and Pollution: I am also deeply engaged in research on air quality and pollution, particularly how these factors contribute to respiratory infections and broader public health concerns.

4. Agriculture: My research extends to climate change and variability impacts on agricultural production especially impacts on crop Growing Degree Days (GDD) and pest infestation such as fall army worms.

My ultimate objective is to provide valuable information and education for policy development and intervention.

 My life philosophy centers on utilizing my expertise to lead positive change and mentor the younger generation to become global critical thinkers and explorers. I believe that by working together, we can make the world a better place. If you would like to collaborate with me on projects related to these areas, please feel free to reach out to me.
