Evans Yiadom Boakye

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.

I welcome connections and can be reached at eboakye0820@my.msutexas.edu or via LinkedIn.
