PROFILE
As a researcher, I have participated in numerous international consignment research initiatives in collaboration with various universities and research institutions, including:
*.- US Geological Survey in the United States,
*- Korea Institute of Geosciences and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) in South Korea,
.- British Geological Survey (BGS) in England,
*.- Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) in France,
.- National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan, and
*.- German Research Centre for Geosciences (DTM) in Germany.
My contributions primarily involved conducting geoscientific investigations within international projects predominantly funded by the European Development Fund. These projects were implemented in South Korea, Papua New Guinea, Haiti, Gabon, Namibia, and Sudan.
The scope of these projects emphasized leadership and support in geological and metallogenic mapping, predictive prospectivity mapping, evaluation of mineral resources, and the study of ore genesis, focusing chiefly at regional scales.
