Biography
Willie Ofosu is a Professor of Engineering in the University College of Pennsylvania State University. His interest in globalization and technology transfer has led to supporting the development of a Bachelor of Science Program in Telecommunications Engineering at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. He has also assisted the Master of Technology Program at the University of Education—Kumasi Campus, also in Ghana.
Research Interests
My research interests include:
- Characterization of the radio space
- WiMAX applications
- Powerline communication
- The food-energy-water nexus in developing nations
My guiding principles in these areas have been sustainability and green earth, and providing solutions to problems faced by people in developing countries.
