Department of Child Health
The researcher has conducted extensive work on hemoglobinias in African populations, establishing a registry for sickle cell disease in Africa and developing methodologies for analyzing hospitalizations among children affected by hemoglobinias. Advanced hierarchical modeling techniques have been employed to integrate diverse data sources, including surveys and hospital records, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the etiology and management of hemoglobinias across various African contexts.
Department of Clinical Microbiology
The researcher's focus centers on enhancing insecticide formulations for pest control, developing integrated vector-borne disease prevention strategies (including malaria), studying mosquito biology and transmission dynamics in different ecological zones, and examining the environmental impacts of microplastics on mosquito vectors.
Department of Physics
The researcher's work spans a broad range of environmental sciences in Ghana, encompassing atmospheric aerosols and clouds, precipitation measurement and analysis, climate change impacts on agriculture, planetary science explorations, geophysical methods, soil and water resource studies, and meteorological phenomena. Their research contributes significantly to advancing understanding across diverse fields, including atmospheric processes, hydrological systems, and geophysical investigations, while also highlighting the importance of addressing global challenges such as climate change and disaster management in a region rich in natural resources.
Department of Indigenous Art and Technology
This researcher's work is deeply rooted in African history and culture studies within the broader domain of social sciences. Their focus centers on themes such as the diaspora, particularly the contributions and reflections of African peoples' cultural and historical identities through specific works like "THE YEAR OF RETURN," which explores the artistic expression of African diaspora heritage at Anomabo_heroes’ park. Drawing from multiple domains—social issues, cultural expressions, and historical contexts—their research methodically integrates insights across disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of African societies in both local and global contexts.
Department of Optometry and Visual Science
The researcher’s work focuses on advancing knowledge in ocular surface and contact lens health, particularly examining conditions like dry eye disease, low vision services, and myopia in Ghana. They also investigate ophthalmology topics such as demographics of myopia, awareness and preventive practices, and barriers to their provision in Ghana. Their research extends into glaucoma and retinal disorders across sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on diagnostic practice profiling and cross-sectional surveys. Additionally, they explore ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders in the eyes, including issues with ocular surface health and human factors. The researcher’s broader research interests encompass improving ocular surface health through education, healthcare guidelines, and technology integration, as well as examining myopia knowledge and awareness across diverse populations and educational contexts.
Department of Forest Resources Technology
The researcher focuses on several key areas within the broader context of economic and social development in Ghana. Their work delves into fiscal policy, examining factors that influence economic growth through financial development and investment strategies. They also investigate energy economics and the impacts of climate change, exploring how resources are managed and their effects on both local economies and global environmental dynamics. The study pays special attention to gender roles and labor markets, analyzing how social inequalities affect work quality and opportunities. Additionally, they examine historical economic trends and policy frameworks, particularly those involving mining and resource management in sub-Saharan Africa. Their research employs a multi-methodological approach, integrating macroeconomic, demographic, and cultural perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of Ghana's economic and social transformations.
Department of Optometry and Visual Science
The researcher has conducted extensive research on Myopia-related interventions across multiple domains, including cost-effectiveness analysis, myopia management, and the application of artificial intelligence in refractive error management, with a focus on improving vision care for children and enhancing the accuracy of optical care technologies.

Department of Medical Diagnostics
The researcher's overall research focus centers on advancing SARS-CoV-2 detection and testing methodologies, particularly through diverse respiratory sample analyses (nasopharyngeal, faecal, and salivary shedding), with a comparative study contextualizing their findings in African healthcare settings. Their work aims to enhance public health outcomes by expanding beyond viral shedding studies to include broader diagnostic applications, ultimately developing comprehensive strategies for COVID-19 detection and treatment.
Department of English
This researcher investigates the neural underpinnings of emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility in humans, employing longitudinal studies that trace changes in brain activity over developmental periods. Their work links these processes to emotional resilience and human behavior, revealing how individuals adapt their thought patterns across life stages—from early childhood to adulthood—and emphasizing the role of emotional regulation in fostering greater emotional flexibility and social efficacy.

Department of Medical Diagnostics
This researcher has conducted extensive research on the interplay between Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Diabetes, focusing particularly on how kidney dysfunction impacts disease progression in Type 2 Diabetic Patients. Their work includes a cross-sectional study in Obuzi East Municipality of Ghana, examining factors such as endo-ticularity, vasculotics, and the overall impact of these conditions on disease development. Their findings contribute significantly to the understanding of how lifestyle and genetic factors influence CKD and Diabetes outcomes, offering valuable insights for potential interventions and clinical strategies.
