Abraham Amankwah (Dip Ed, BSc (UCC), MSc (Bremen), PhD (Ghana))

QUALIFICATION

• M.Sc. Environmental Physics; Faculty 1 (Physics/Electric Engineering), University of Bremen, Germany. 
• B.Sc. Physics; Department of Physics, University of Cape Coast.
• Dip.Education; Department of Physics, University of Cape Coast

RESEARCH INTEREST

Research interest includes developing computer models to study environmental issues

such as air pollution. Ozone in the stratosphere has been studied by including various

subroutines as a means of further developing an existing stratospheric global chemical

transport model. I am interested in writing and using computer programs to study the

effect of air pollutants on climate, health, agriculture, etc.

 AREA OF SPECIALIZATION

Environmental research and modelling. Current research interest includes air pollution studies. Current ongoing research includes the development of air pollution models using cellular automata approach.
