Dr. Pascal Sugri Fuseini Nbelayim
About
Dr Nbelayim was employed by Ghana Standards Board/Authority after his National Service in 2005. In 2014 he took a study leave to pursue his PhD program, and remained so until his appointment as a lecturer in December 2020 by the University of Ghana. At Ghana Standards Authority (the national representative of ISO) he headed the General Chemistry and Polymer Labs; he set up a system for breeding mosquitoes for the performance test of mosquito repellents/pesticides; his assiduous approach to analysis led to a nationwide analysis of fuels from underground tanks of fuel stations in 2008, and subsequent direction for the replacement/cleanup of damaged/contaminated tanks, in collaboration with the local National Petroleum Authority. He was also responsible for research and analysis of unfamiliar general chemical-based samples/materials brought to the Authority.
