I’m a senior research scientist and Professor at the University FHB of Cocody I joined as an Assistant professor in January 1998. I’m currently an ICTP regular associate 2010-2015.
My major research works are my contribution to the improvement of the IRI model
results in the African equatorial latitude. Using the ionosonde data from the sounding station of Ouagadougou, Korhogo and Ilorin, we have introduce a new table of profiles parameters B0 and B1. Currently I’m strongly involved in the development of space science infrastructure in Africa for GNSS applications.
