About me
I am a sociologist of science and technology with a PhD (2017) and postdoctoral training (2018–2023) from the University of Basel, Switzerland. My research explores the social dimensions of scientific practice, infrastructure, and innovation, particularly in African contexts. The publications listed below reflect some of this work.
Since 2023, I have focused on collaborative projects with the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute and the Ghana Meteorological Agency. Alongside this research, I have deepened my engagement with audio-visual ethnography and advanced techniques in qualitative data analysis.
This website serves as a landing page to share ongoing work, field collaborations, and methodological experiments at the intersection of science, technology, and society.
