Godson Ebenezer Adjovu received his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in 2016 from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana; his master’s degree in civil engineering in 2020 from Tennessee Technological University; and he expects to complete his PhD in civil and environmental engineering in 2023 at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). Through the incorporation of remote sensing and machine learning techniques, he is developing estimative models to improve sustainable management of the Colorado River Basin’s water quality. His future research plan includes utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles to improve the temporal and spatial resolution of images collected over bodies of water to improve the efficiency, scalability, and overall accuracy of remote sensing-based machine learning models. In 2022–2023 alone, Adjovu will have received at least ten academic awards, scholarships, and fellowships. He is president of the African Student Alliance at UNLV until May 2023, which he helped establish, and the chapter won three awards under his leadership. In his role as vice president of the Graduate and Professional Student Government (2022–2023), he was part of the lobbying efforts for better housing and higher graduate stipends during the March 2023 session of the Nevada State Legislature. He also chaired the sponsorship committee of the student government. As a future faculty member, he will support and mentor students from all backgrounds and advocate for increased diversity in engineering.
