Developed 3D-printed polymer-derived SiOC ceramic structures and studied pyrolysis-driven transformation and porosity, performing comprehensive characterization (TGA, XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET, mechanical testing) and publishing results in a peer-reviewed journal.

Developed 3D-printed polymer-derived SiOC ceramics and investigated pyrolysis-driven transformation and porosity, publishing results and characterizing materials using TGA, XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, gas adsorption, mechanical testing and nanoindentation.

Performed cold sintering of mechanochemically produced ceramic powders for energy storage, characterized samples with SEM, FTIR, EDX and density/Archimedes methods, and contributed to a manuscript under review in a Q1 journal.

Conducted experimental research comparing ultra-high temperature and conventional sintering of volcanic ash ceramics, optimizing processes and characterizing microstructure via TGA, SEM, EDX and FTIR to improve density and reduce defects.

Supported implementation and assessment of projects, conducted research analyzing physical and chemical properties of locally manufactured rebars for quality and compliance, and supervised laboratory sessions and examinations.

Assisted in manufacturing tasks including welding, lathe operation and precision drilling, and supervised student end-of-semester projects to ensure successful completion and skill development.

Assisted in hands-on manufacturing tasks including welding, lathe operation and precision drilling, and supervised student end-of-semester projects to ensure successful completion.

Pursuing a Master’s degree in Materials Engineering at the University of Trento starting September 2022.

Completed a Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Ghana from 2016 to July 2020.
