Never knew watching Black Stars lose a match could bring me so much satisfaction…the look on Suarez’s face at full time just healed 12 years of trauma for the country 😂 #WorldCup #ghanavsuruguay
It was an immense pleasure speaking with the Energy & Embedded Systems Club @cmu_africa today about my research journey and insights on electrification and policy in sub-Saharan Africa. Thank you all for having me! 🙏🏾
