Boadu, Kwasi Opoku is my name. I was employed to the Industrial Chemistry Unit, Department of Chemistry, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana in 2006 as a lecturer. Through excellent lecturing, extensive research and hard work, I got promoted to the rank of a Senior Lecturer in 2012. My research works are mainly in the following areas: Oil and Gas Fields Chemicals, Chemical Processing, Environmental Remediation, Nanotechnology and Materials Science. Currently, I am working on removal of contaminants in used lubricating oils using chemically activated carbon adsorbents from agricultural by-products. Also, I have held several Management positions, Community Service and vast lecturing experience in the following subjects: Chemical Plant Design, Separation Process Principles, Chemical Plant Safety, Petroleum Chemistry, Refinery Technology, Transport Phenomena, Project Management, Management Skills, Chemical Process Industries and Process Economics. Further, I am a results-oriented, analytical team player with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Present
Teaching & projects
My teaching philosophy is to emphasis on building students' independent study habits and ensure they link theory with practicals. Even when students are engaged in a lesson, I find they often forget essential details because they haven't learned how to properly review material and applied on their own.
