Congratulations Jesse Essuman Johnson

Jesse Essuman Johnson is a graduating MPhil student from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
His research interests include energy sustainability, systems modelling, renewable energy, and process optimisation. His master's thesis focused on "Optimal Hydrodynamic Configuration for a Multistage Anaerobic Digester: A CFD-Based Analysis and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach," under the supervision of Ing. Prof. Nana Yaw Asiedu and Ing. Prof. Ahmad Addo.

Jesse developed and implemented fifteen distinct hydrodynamic scenarios for his MPhil work for a novel multistage anaerobic digester. He conducted comprehensive simulations to analyse the flow patterns within the novel digester. His work employed a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) Approach to determine the optimal hydrodynamic configuration, showing great potential for improving anaerobic digestion processes.

The KNUST Engineering Education Project (KEEP) has been instrumental in his academic success by providing financial support. He is very grateful for the support and encouragement received from the staff and management of KEEP.

Jesse plans to advance renewable energy and energy systems modelling further, particularly focusing on decarbonisation pathways and sustainable development. He aims to use his expertise to promote a sustainable energy future by developing efficient solutions and informing policy decisions.
