CURRENT RESEARCH
I am currently involved in a Multi-National Project on Global Change
in the Hydrological Cycle “GLOWA” between Germany, Ghana and
Burkina Faso on the Volta Basin of which I am undertaking my Ph.D.
project.
My area of specialization is in Computational Mathematics and thesis is on
the estimation of optimal parameters for Soil-Vegetation-AtmosphericTransfer (SVAT)
processes for the accurate prediction of natural variability in precipitation
levels and its effect on the hydrological cycle along the Volta
Basin.
