Faculty Biography

Over 18 years experience in consulting, teaching and research in Geo-information data acquisition, analysis and management. More specifically in the field of Accurate and Precise Positioning, GNSS and GIS Applications. Started as a National Service Personal at the Department of Geomatic Engineering at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology awarded a scholarship to pursue postgraduate studies based on hard work and excellent academic grades. I can work on any survey project on any terrain and with any class of people within the stipulated time frame. Lecturing and being the Field Team Leader with University’s Survey Unit, I have acquired good leadership, interpersonal and computing skills, especially in the use of AutoCAD, ArcView/AcrGIS, MatLab, Trimble Business Centre, RTKlib, gLAB and Spectrum Survey for survey planning, computations, design/drafting and plotting. I have enough technical experience in the use of theodolites, total stations, levels and GNSS/RTK instruments.
