Raymond SABOGU-SUMAH is a graduating PhD student from the Telecommunications Engineering Department at KNUST. His research interests are Stochastic Geometry Analysis of Wireless Networks, Machine Learning, Universal Mobile Connectivity and ICT Regulations.
In his PhD thesis, he studied the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to extend mobile connectivity to users, especially those located in remote and hard-to-reach areas. His work leveraged tools from Stochastic Geometry to mathematically analyse the multi-UAV aerial network. He further developed a multi-agent reinforcement learning technique to enable the UAVs to learn from each other to improve their performance.
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.
He plans to continue working on other methods of providing universal mobile connectivity to bridge the digital divide.
