I am a graduate student at Idaho State University pursuing a Masters in Geographic Information Science. I am passionate about utilizing geospatial technologies to understand environmental hazards better and improve infrastructure resilience. I aim to expand my expertise in remote sensing, geospatial data analysis, and modeling to address natural hazard management and contribute to sustainable planning.
I'm working with Professor Donna Delparte on research that focuses on detecting landslide changes along highway corridors in southeastern Idaho using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
I graduated from the University of Mines and Technology (Ghana) with a B.S. in Geomatic Engineering. My thesis focused on Detecting Changes in Land Use Land Cover in the Catchment of the WEIJA DAM.
I worked at AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mines (Ghana) as a mine surveyor, where I mastered preparing ore set-outs and carrying out pit faces, drill holes, waste dump, and exploration trenches pickups to ensure reduced levels were in place, Drone surveys to obtain orthophotos and contours for aerial map, area, and volume computations.
I watch movies, play music while cooking, and talk with family back home during my leisure time.
