Congratulations Amma Konadu Adjei

Amma Konadu Adjei is a graduating MPhil candidate from the Department of Chemical Engineering at KNUST.

Her research interests include biofuels, green energy, carbon capture, process optimisation, water and wastewater treatment, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Her MPhil work focused on optimising the Electrocoagulation(EC) process for harvesting microalgae biomass intended for biofuel production. She cultured the green microalgae species Chlorella sp. and conducted optimisation studies using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modelling techniques. Her research demonstrated the potential for efficient and cost-effective microalgae recovery, achieving a 93% recovery rate at optimal conditions and highlighting the promise of electrocoagulation in industrial third-generation biofuel production.

Amma expresses her sincere gratitude to the KNUST Engineering Education Project (KEEP) for sponsoring her studies and acknowledges the support provided by their staff throughout her research.

Her future aspirations involve deepening her expertise in machine learning and its application to advancing sustainability research in her field of study for a greener future.
