Reference excerpt

Kwasi Obiri-Danso is a Ghanaian biological scientist and academic who served as 10th Vice Chancellor of Kwame Nkrumah University of Scicence and Technology.

Early life and education Obiri-Danso had his GCE Ordinary level and Advanced level education at Swedru Secondary School. He furthered his education at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences and later with a Master of Philosophy degree in Food Microbiology. He holds a PhD in Environmental Microbiology from Lancaster University, United Kingdom.

Career

Academic career Obiri-Danso began his career as a teaching assistant at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, serving from 1987 to 1989. He was later promoted to the rank of lecturer, serving from 1990 to 2000. He was a research assistant at the Institute of Environmental Sciences in Lancaster University whilst he was offering his PhD, from 1996 to 1999. In 2000, after his return to Ghana, he was promoted to the rank of senior lecturer and further to an associate professor in 2007. He rose to the rank of professor of environmental microbiology/environmental health.

Vice Chancellor On 19 May 2016, The University’s Council of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in a press statement announced his appointment as the new Vice-Chancellor to take over from William Otoo Ellis for a 4-year term effective 1 August 2016 to 21 July 2020. Prior to serving as Vice Chancellor he was the Provost of the College of Science at the university, Head of Department, Dean of Faculty and Dean at the International Programmes Office at different times of his academic career. He was later succeeded by Rita Akosua Dickson who served as his deputy as Pro-vice-chancellor when he was in office.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Kwasi Obiri-Danso

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Kwasi Obiri-Danso claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Kwasi Obiri-Danso before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Kwasi Obiri-Danso ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Kwasi Obiri-Danso

In research: Kwasi Obiri-Danso appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Kwasi Obiri-Danso in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Kwasi Obiri-Danso is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century Ghanaian scientists, Academic staff of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Alumni of Lancaster University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Kwasi Obiri-Danso outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
