Ms Millicent Afrifa Opoku (Participant)

I am a PhD candidate at the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences, NIMS-KNUST, Ghana. Millicent Afrifa Opoku enrolled in the Mathematics programme at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana, in 2013, and completed in 2017, with a Bachelor of Science degree, Second Class Upper Division in Mathematics. Her undergraduate thesis was focused on the area of Numerical Analysis and Optimization, where she worked on the 'Solution of Tricycle Routing Problem for Waste Bin Collection using the Ant Colony Optimization'. In August 2018, she had the opportunity to pursue a postgraduate taught programme in 'Mathematical Sciences' with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), Ghana, with a dissertation in "Well-Posedness of Some Known Partial Differential Equations." In August 2019, she had the opportunity again, to pursue an MPhil. in 'Scientific Computing and Industrial Modelling' with the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences (NIMS), Ghana with a dissertation on "Analysis of the Effects of High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) on Early Formation of a New Atherosclerosis Plaque Model."
