Dr. Andrew Selasi Agbemenu
Director of Technology & Innovation @AINAS
Dr. Andrew Selasi Agbemenu is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Engineering at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana. He is a licensed professional engineer and earned all his degrees—BSc in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, MSc in Telecommunication Engineering, and PhD in Computer Engineering—at KNUST.
He currently serves as Deputy Director of the Distributed IoT-Platforms, Privacy, and Edge-Intelligence Research (DIPPER) Lab, where he leads interdisciplinary projects focused on embedded systems, sensor networks, and edge-intelligent platforms. He also heads the TI Microelectronics Laboratory at KNUST and is a Project Engineer with the Responsible AI Lab (RAIL-KNUST), contributing to the development of responsible, context-aware AI systems in areas such as digital agriculture and smart sensing.
Dr. Agbemenu’s research covers analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, including advanced data converters and AI-driven analog design methodologies. His work in sensor design explores robust solutions for edge environments and industrial IoT. In blockchain, he investigates topology optimization for peer-to-peer networks, storage-efficient designs, and interoperability, especially as applied to industrial and agricultural IoT systems. His IoT research extends to traceability systems and low-power architectures, while his AI and machine learning work focuses on analog design automation, learned indexing in blockchain, and AI applications in agriculture.
His research outputs are driven by a strong commitment to impact, addressing critical challenges in agriculture, healthcare, and other developmental sectors. For example, his work has contributed to blockchain-powered food supply chain transparency across Africa and optimized network structures for secure agricultural IoT infrastructures. His international engagements include a visiting scholar position at the Analog and Mixed-Signal Center at Texas A&M University (TAMU), where he expanded his expertise in integrated system design and hardware-software co-development.
Dr. Agbemenu continues to play a leading role in research and innovation ecosystems in Ghana and beyond, with a focus on scalable technologies that bridge digital solutions with real-world development goals.
