About
I am Full Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics at Université de Lomé, where I lead the UNESCO Chair on Renewable Energies and the Master's Program in Materials. I completed my Ph.D. in Physics (thin films and optoelectronics) in 2009, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Nantes on organic solar materials, joined Université de Lomé in 2011 and rose through the ranks to Full Professor in 2022. I have supervised more than thirty master's and doctoral students and authored over forty international journal publications. My work spans materials physics to large-scale energy systems, with one priority: practical solutions for energy access and sustainability in West Africa.
