DAAD climapAfrica Postdoctoral Fellow
Department of Soil Science
University of Ghana
Ghana
Dr. Samuel K. Kumahor is currently a lecturer at the Department of Soil Science, University of Ghana. Prior to this, he worked as Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ottawa in Canada. His research focusses on multiphase flow and contaminant transport in porous media. Key areas of research interest are investigation into mobility of nanomaterials in environmental systems, radioactive waste management, and gas fluxes in environmental systems. Within the framework of climapAfrica, his research will seek to understand key processes governing greenhouse gas fluxes deriving from lowland rice production systems in Ghana.
