It's #FuguWednesday, and our Dean, Ing Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, is marking the occasion in a rather unique way—by participating as a panellist at the US‑Africa Nuclear Energy Summit (USANES 2026) in Accra, proudly wearing her fugu. #ug_engineering #ses_ug #FuguWednesday

Some of our students have been selected to attend the Friday session of the summit, a dedicated workshop on "Deploying Nuclear in the AI Era: Rethinking the Workforce". This will offer them a valuable opportunity to gain firsthand exposure to the future of nuclear energy.

SES recently welcomed Prof. Kwadwo Appiah-Kubi, past student of our dean (Physiotherapy, 2003) and Associate Professor of Physical Therapy at Clarkson University, New York, for a memorable visit. #UGEngineering #SESUG #AlumniSpotlight
His connection to the University of Ghana dates back to 2003, when he was part of the very first cohort of Physiotherapy students. It was here that Dean, Ing. Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, taught him Biomechanics. He still vividly recalls his course project on calculating how much weight a pregnant woman can safely carry on her back, based on spinal load evaluation. Prof. Effah Kaufmann fondly recounted that he was the best student in the course. Prof. Effah Kaufmann was a member of the University of Ghana committee that prepared the proposal for establishing the Physiotherapy programme, and she was among its pioneering lecturers. Today, Prof. Appiah-Kubi leads pioneering research at the intersection of virtual reality and biomechanics. It was a wonderful moment of reconnection, reflecting on a journey that began in a classroom in Legon and has grown into a distinguished academic career in the United States.
