Goals and interests
- Career goal
My goal is to become an outstanding scholar and architect with expertise in sustainable architecture, biocomputation, and computational design. In Ghana and beyond, I want to provide creative, contextually aware solutions for global issues, especially sustainable housing. In order to expand my knowledge and contribute to innovative studies in cutting-edge technologies like robotics, parametric design, and environmentally adaptable systems, I intend to obtain a Ph.D. in computational design. In addition to my work, I hope to teach at the university level, imparting information, coaching the upcoming generation of architects, and cultivating an environment that values computationally driven and sustainable architectural innovation.
- Graduate school interests
I focus on computational design, biocomputation, and sustainable architecture. I am passionate about exploring advanced parametric systems, robotics, and environmentally adaptive materials to create innovative architectural solutions.
- Outside the classroom
My hobbies include photography, digital art, 3D modeling, 3D animation, painting, swimming, exploring science fiction, listening to music, appreciating cyberpunk art, engaging with tech innovations, and staying active through fitness.
