Publishing since 2015, latest 2026

Gladys Ama Quartey is an Associate Professor at Takoradi Technical University in Ghana. I had my first degree in Renewable Natural Resources and then had a scholarship to do my MPhil which was later convented into PhD in Wood Science and Technology at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. My research interests are the characterisation of lesser utilised wood species, wood engineering, materials, production technology, wood anatomy, physics… More on ORCID
