Iris Baffour Ansah

Bio

I completed my bachelors degree in 2017 at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST, Ghana) where I studied Chemistry. I followed up to pursue a PhD in South Korea (2018-2023). Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology (UST, Korea) and the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), I majored in Advanced Materials Engineering. My research focused on developing ultrasensitive (bio)chemical sensors for rapid label-free point-of-care analyses and environmental safety monitoring.
