Our Team

Isaac Otu is a Materials Engineer, Corrosion Engineer, researcher, and science communicator passionate about advancing corrosion science, asset integrity, and engineering education across Africa.

He holds a BSc in Materials Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and works in the oil and gas sector, where he focuses on corrosion management, protective coatings, inspection, and infrastructure reliability.

He co-founded C2S to bridge the gap between academia and industry, creating a platform for research dissemination, professional development, student engagement, and industry collaboration across Africa.

Lawrence Cudjoe is a Materials Engineer with a focus on asset integrity, corrosion engineering, and infrastructure durability. He holds a BSc in Materials Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

Lawrence has practical experience in quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) and non-destructive testing (NDT), having inspected welds and engineering components using visual, magnetic particle, and dye penetrant testing. He currently serves as Teaching and Research Assistant in the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at KNUST, with research interests in corrosion, surface modification, and welding.

As co-founder, Lawrence contributes to Infrastructure Durability and Asset Integrity work, applying his background in corrosion and inspection to support infrastructure protection and resilience across Africa.

Manasseh Nhyiraba Eshun is a Materials Engineering graduate with research experience spanning materials characterization and the application of machine learning to materials performance problems, alongside hands-on exposure to industrial materials and manufacturing processes.

His research interests span energy materials, materials for electrical and electronic applications, computational materials science and engineering, engineering visualization, and machine learning and AI applications in materials engineering.

He combines this technical research background with a commitment to open science communication, translating complex engineering concepts for broader public understanding.

Enoch Osei Agyekum Bonsu is a Materials Engineering graduate with professional experience in corrosion engineering, electrochemical corrosion control, asset integrity, and non-destructive testing from Ghana National Gas Company.

His interests include understanding corrosion mechanisms, improving corrosion monitoring and mitigation strategies, and applying data analytics and machine learning to predict material degradation and optimise asset integrity management.

He aspires to advance research at the intersection of corrosion science, electrochemistry, and intelligent materials monitoring, developing innovative, cost-effective solutions that improve the safety, reliability, and sustainability of industrial infrastructure, particularly in the energy and water sectors.

Bernard Andoh Eshun is a Materials Engineer from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with a focus on failure analysis, corrosion control, and asset integrity.

His practical experience includes welding, corrosion coating, laboratory metallography, and microstructural characterization. He has conducted root cause failure analyses on steel grinding balls and SAG mill liners, assessing their performance and suitability for the mining industry.

He serves as Teaching and Research Assistant in the Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at KNUST. His interests include failure analysis, non-destructive testing (NDT), and corrosion.

Stanislaus Mawuli Oklu is a Materials Engineer with a focused interest in corrosion control, cathodic protection, and asset integrity. He holds a BSc in Materials Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

He has experience in materials testing, coatings, quality inspection, and the maintenance of hydroelectric power equipment. His time at the Volta River Authority gave him practical exposure to corrosion risks in power-generation assets and to preventive maintenance.

He is particularly interested in corrosion prevention, materials selection, and extending the service life and reliability of engineering assets.
