My primary research interest is Model with Differential Equations, with particular focus on Disease Model in Mathematical Biology. I employ both analytical and numerical techniques to study this model, most of which are in the birth-death format. I am also interested in research in Optimization Techniques and Mathematics Education Research.
Currently teaches the following courses Kumasi Technical University; Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Numerical and Computational Methods, Analytical Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, Engineering Mathematics I-V, SLT Mathematics, Research Methods, Calculus of Several Variables Sets and Numbers, Operations Research and Culinary Mathematics.
