Boundary value Problems and their applications to Ghanaian musical instruments.
The thrust of this research is to attempt to re-shape Ghanaian musical drumheads, through the study of their mathematics, for more varied rhythmic Ghanaian music.

Attended many national and international math conferences ranging from 1979 to 2011.
