Remote Sensing and Modeling (RSM) Lab

My name is Evans Yiadom Boakye, and I am from Ghana, West Africa. I hold a First Class Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, with a specialization in Geophysics, from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi. For my undergraduate research project, I mapped erosion hotspots in Keta, a low-lying community in southeastern Ghana, as part of the TIDEKIT project, which was funded by the Office of Naval Research (USA).

​

Following the completion of my bachelor's degree, I served as a Teaching and Research Assistant in the Geophysics Unit of the Department of Physics at KNUST. As a Teaching Assistant, I taught college-level physics and geoscience courses, including Basic Mechanics, Optics, Special Relativity, Introductory Geophysics, and Geophysical Laboratory Methods, among others. As a Research Assistant, I continued my work on the TIDEKIT project, collecting photogrammetric field data and mapping the hazardous impacts of coastal erosion along Ghana's eastern coastline.

​

I recently began my Master of Science degree in Geosciences at Midwestern State University, Texas, in Fall 2026. I work under the guidance of Professor Kashif Mahmud in his Remote Sensing and Modelling Lab as a Graduate Research Assistant, using remote sensing techniques and Google Earth Engine to study decadal changes in channel migration and riparian vegetation along the Red River, which borders Texas and Oklahoma.

​

Outside of my academic pursuits, I enjoy connecting with people and bringing energy and humor to the spaces I'm in. I am also a passionate follower of soccer and enjoy discussing and analyzing tactical trends in the game.
