Martina Francisca Baidoo
The researcher's work focuses on integrating renewable energy sources and advanced chemical processes for biofuels and sustainable agriculture in the Physical Sciences domain. Their research encompasses developing bioenergy potential from various feedstocks, creating catalysts for oxychlorination of ethylene, enhancing biofuel production methods across multiple domains, exploring agricultural sustainability strategies, and advancing pavement performance evaluations using sophisticated techniques.
Faculty Biography
I have been working in the Department of Chemical Engineering, KNUST since November, 2016. I have gained indepth knowlege in catalysis and petrochemistry from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. I am a highly motivated and driven individual who is interested in waste recycling and valorisation, biofuels and biomaterials, catalyst and its application in different areas.
