Dr Cyril Dziedzorm Boateng
Principal Investigator
A Geophysicist with interest in both near-surface problems and hydrocarbon exploration. I am currently a lecturer and researcher with a focus on driving sustainable development using geophysics. My interests cover petroleum exploration, groundwater exploration, archeo-geophysics, coastal geophysics, environmental geophysics, and AI applications in geophysics. I am also interested in the interphase between research and policy.
