Dr. George Ashiagbor is a highly knowledgeable and skilled specialist in GIS and Remote Sensing, with extensive experience in the field. He is currently a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana. Dr. Ashiagbor's research interests are focused on using remote sensing and GIS techniques to gain insights into landscape-level changes and the complex interactions between humans and the ecosystem.

Dr. Ashiagbor has been actively involved in developing methodologies for accurately mapping Ghana's landscape using Remote Sensing approaches. He was the Remote Sensing technical lead for the Forest 2020 Ghana project, a collaboration between the Forestry Commission of Ghana and Ecometrica, a UK Space Agency-funded project to develop approaches for segregating cocoa from forest. Additionally, Dr. Ashiagbor has led several land use land cover mapping and analysis activities in Ghana, with a primary focus on mapping and analysing commodities (cocoa, oil palm, and rubber) driven deforestation. With his extensive research conducted in the cocoa-forest mosaic landscape of Ghana, he has made significant contributions to the discussions around the European Union's Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). 

Dr. Ashiagbor has conducted research on a range of topics, including land use and cover change, forest monitoring, deforestation assessment, landscape ecology, conservation, environmental modelling, and natural resource management. He has been the Principal Investigator for four granted projects and Remote Sensing lead for three other funded projects. His expertise and contributions to the field are widely recognised and respected. Dr. Ashiagbor is currently collaborating with the CSIR-Soil Research Institute in Ghana to develop a framework supported by remote-sensing technology. This framework aims to incentivize site-specific agronomic management of smallholder cocoa farms. The project, named FRAME-Cocoa, is funded by the African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI).
