About Me

My name is Prince Obosu, and I am a Ph.D. student in Remote Sensing of Forest Resources and Biology at the University of Maine. I am a multidisciplinary researcher with a strong interest in applying geospatial technologies across various domains. Currently, I am working on developing a spatial community resilience framework for the state of Maine. Prior to this, my research focused on using satellite data and machine learning techniques to predict malaria prevalence in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. See more
