Biography

Eric is an enthusiastic hydroclimatologist and energy scientist with a strong research focus in spatial modeling, atmospheric-hydrological modeling, climate change, and hydropower sustainability assessment. He has strong expertise in GIS and Remote Sensing and hydrological modeling with Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP), and the fully coupled Atmospheric-Hydrological Water Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-Hydro).

Currently, Eric serves as an Assistant Research Fellow at the Earth Observation Research and Innovation Center (EORIC) of the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) at Sunyani, Ghana. His instructions at the university include teaching courses in Engineering Physics and GIS and Remote Sensing. At EORIC, he processes and analyses climate and hydrological data for scientific publication.

He is also a PhD candidate in Climate Change and Energy at Universite Abdou Moumouni (UAM), under the West Africa Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) scholarship program. His current focus is on climate-land interactions over West Africa, Water-Energy-Food Nexus modeling in the Volta Basin, and fully coupled Atmospheric-Hydrological modeling over the Sissili-Kulpawn basin.

Eric had an MSc in Climate Change and Energy in 2015 from the UAM under the WASCAL scholarship program. He also obtained a BSc in Physics in 2012 from the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Ghana, where he also served as a teaching Assistant. He had his elementary, and secondary education in Ghana.
